Swimming Australia is pleased to announce two-time Olympic gold medalist, Kieren Perkins<\/strong>, has been appointed to the Swimming Australia Board as a non-executive director, effective immediately.<\/p>\n

Perkins returns to the Board after having previously served from 2001-2007 and will replace current non-executive director Simon Rothery<\/strong>, who has made the decision to step down after serving since 2014.<\/p>\n

Considered to be one of Australia\u2019s greatest distance swimmers \u2013 winning gold in the 1500m at the 1992 and 1996 Olympics \u2013 Perkins broke numerous world records in his career and was the first person in history to hold the Olympic, World, Commonwealth and Pan Pacific titles simultaneously.<\/p>\n

He retired from swimming in 2000 having amassed 23 medals at international competitions and was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2002.<\/p>\n

Having worked in the banking sector for a decade and currently holding the position of General Manager Enablement, nab Business and Private Bank, Perkins brings with him a wealth of strategic business and financial experience.<\/p>\n

He has also held numerous non-executive director roles on not-for-profit and corporate boards, including currently serving on the Board of the Sports Australia Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Swimming Australia President John Bertrand <\/strong>said Perkins would be wonderful asset to the Swimming Australia Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cKieren is one of our greatest ever athletes and his sporting achievements speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would think most Australians would remember where they were when he won the 1500m from lane eight in 1996.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince he retired from swimming, he has held numerous positions in the corporate sector, and I have no doubt he will bring fantastic business acumen and skills to the boardroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis legacy in the sport embodies our values to enrich and inspire the nation and I know he has the best interests of our sport at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on his appointment Perkins said: \u201cAs a passionate former swimmer and someone who has lived a large part of their life in the sport, I have a strong connection to the values and legacy of swimming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting period for swimming as we build towards Tokyo and I am thrilled to be able to contribute to our sport\u2019s future success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bertrand<\/a> thanked outgoing non-executive director Rothery for his service.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon has been a dedicated Board member for the past five years and we sincerely thank him for his contribution and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n
