Brighton Col · GBR
Fergus is a swimmer from the United Kingdom, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 3 seasons, 2 countries and 12 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2022 in Winchester, where he raced the 50 backstroke in 55.85. He started out alongside Shiverers Swimming Club.
His signature event is the 50 backstroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle. Backstroke is where his specialisation lies (8 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (10 meets and 16 recorded swims spread across 4 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 50 backstroke stands at 55.85, set in long course (50 m) at Winchester City Penguins Summer Scorcher 2022.
His record includes national championships, in 2023 (National Arena Swimming League - London 2023). A representative mark at that level is 53.73 in the 50 butterfly, recorded in short course (25 m).
The record runs unbroken from 2022 to 2024: 3 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2023 is the busiest season on record, with 17 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (the United Kingdom and UNK), including 1 of 12 meets outside the United Kingdom.
Those meets span 8 different venues (Prince Regent, Brighton, Hove and Luton…). He has raced for Shiverers Swimming Club and Brighton Col.
Latest competition: English Schools' SA Summer Open Championships 2024 in Crawley, on June 23, 2024, with 1 swim: 1:30.75 in the 100 freestyle, all in long course (50 m) and 1 PB improvement. He closes this record with 10 current event personal bests and 22 all-time PB improvements, across 29 verified official swims in competitions governed by Aquatics GB.
