Over the years, David's commitment to support the recording of results hasn't just covered pool swimming at a club, County, Region and National level, including para-swimming and masters, it has also included a number of years of recording open water results at Bosworth Water for the Regional Open Water Championships.

Outside of event delivery, David remains part of the Sport Systems group to continue to improve the Sport Systems programme for us by our clubs and organisations, which included the access during the return from lockdown, which supported clubs and swimming gaining times onto rankings with ease.
