Swim England Governance In Spotlight – Three Masters Complaints Upheld<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Chris Bostock<\/strong>, former Chair of the Swim England<\/strong> Sport Governing Board, has been found guilty in a third misconduct case after having been found guilty in two previous misconduct cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An independent panel concluded that he was guilty of \u201crude and aggressive\u201d behaviour in violation of the association\u2019s Code of Ethics<\/a> in a case brought by Professor Sue Arrowsmith<\/strong>, a masters swimmer and expert in law, over events that took place at a meeting she was to have delivered a presentation at.<\/p>\n

Bostock has not issued an apology to Prof. Arrowsmith, the third of the three women whose complaints against him were upheld, nor has he replied to an invitation from this reporter to comment on why that might be.<\/p>\n

No longer on the Swim England board, Bostock retains strong links as a consultant to an association celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n

Swim England, which has faced questions and steep criticism from Masters swimmers over the federation\u2019s willingness to improve its governance and culture in line with modern standards, did not answer the specific questions put to it.<\/p>\n

Those questions hang in the air and include: why had Bostock not apologised; has Swim England sought to have him make one in order to reinforce good culture, one that accepts that mistakes have been made and lessons learned; did Swim England intend to continue to work with Bostock given that similar alleged behaviour among others, including coaches, has led to full-blown inquiries and even contributed to dismissals?<\/p>\n

Swim England pointed us to the determination: to find it without instruction is quite a trawl: any who want to find it and\/or read it must scroll down to the very bottom of the page this link goes to and click on the discipline header, then find the relevant judgment and open the pdf – <\/a>and the accompanying board statement.<\/p>\n

All three complaints about Bostock’s behaviour arose out of incidents at the 2017 Swim England Masters Conference<\/strong>, where many swimmers had hoped to discuss the longstanding governance problems in GB swimming.<\/p>\n

Many felt that poor governance had underpinned the crisis-striken\u00a02016 London European Masters Championships<\/strong>: the event was a commercial and sporting fiasco, with huge financial losses, according to official figures and reports.<\/p>\n

Close to 10,000 swimmers were crammed into facilities designed for 5,000, while organisers faced accusations of sex discrimination after the women\u2019s races were allocated mainly to the “warm up\u201d pool at the London 2012 venue, while the men, for the most part, got to race in the Olympic pool.<\/p>\n

A legal settlement, negotiated by Prof. Arrowsmith, included a public apology<\/a> over the event from British Swimming Chair, Maurice Watkins<\/strong>, and former CEO David Sparkes<\/strong> (now a member of the FINA Bureau). Even so, a British Swimming promise to look at the discrimination data<\/a> had not been followed through at the time of the conference.<\/p>\n

The governance problems were to have been discussed in a session led by Professor Arrowsmith, a Law Professor who is also an expert to the International Partnership Against Corruption in Sport<\/strong>. However, with less than 48 hours\u2019 notice, the session was cancelled by Jane Nickerson, Swim England CEO<\/strong>. The reason: Professor Arrowsmith\u2019s paper was \u201ctoo critical\u201d, according to Verity Dobbie<\/strong>, who represents the federation in dealing with Masters.<\/p>\n

According to the disciplinary findings, Nickerson then gave Bostock the job of shutting down any governance discussion, telling him that Professor Arrowsmith was seen as a \u201ctrouble maker\u201d.<\/p>\n

When angry delegates \u2013 many of whom had travelled hundreds of miles \u2013 asked to hear Professor Arrowsmith, Bostock intervened in a manner delegates described as \u201cabusive\u201d, \u201caggressive\u201d, \u201cintimidating\u201d and \u201cthreatening\u201d.<\/p>\n

In an earlier decision, a Disciplinary Committee found Mr Bostock guilty of intimidating and distressing two other female swimmers, and ordered him to apologise. Swimming World<\/em> understands that he has done so but that the apology merely parrots the Disciplinary Committee\u2019s words, leading to complaints seen by Swimming World that the apology was just \u201cgoing through the motions\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the latest decision, an independent appeal panel chaired by Gemma White QC<\/strong> has now also found Bostock guilty of misconduct towards Prof. Arrowsmith, concluding that he was \u201crude\u201d, \u201caggressive\u201d, \u201csneering\u201d and \u201cdismissive\u201d.<\/p>\n

Conscious of the complaints over the earlier apologies, the panel decided not to insist on an apology, stating that an apology given under orders would not be genuine but just risk being \u201cinsulting\u201d – but said that it hoped that Bostock would reflect on his behaviour and choose to apologise.<\/p>\n

Many weeks have gone by and there has been no apology from Bostock. Should that change, we will bring you news of his apology.<\/p>\n

The first committee was also highly critical of Swim England, which backed Mr Bostock throughout, providing evidence for him while refusing to cooperate with the complainants. The committee found that the CEO, Nickerson, was \u201cwrong\u201d to cancel the paper, and the appeal panel ordered its final decision, containing observations on how Swim England\u2019s board is expected to behave, to be sent to the current board.<\/p>\n

The board statement in response <\/a>merely states that the board has \u201cnoted\u201d the contents and that Bostock no longer holds a board position since a 2018 restructuring \u2013 without, however, referring to the criticisms of its CEO, or mentioning Bostock\u2019s continuing consultancy role.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Prof. Arrowsmith has told Swimming World<\/em> that she is not at all surprised that Bostock has not apologised but is disappointed at what she believes is evidence that Swim England is not taking on board the need for serious cultural change. She added:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe board\u2019s statement includes no expression of regret or even any indication that it accepts the criticisms. It is incredibly disappointing that three years after London our swimming federations continue to display the same contempt for stakeholders as before and still react to all criticism by trying to squash it rather than engaging with it\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
