Olympic bronze medallist and former swimmer Steve Parry, who has been involved with Kellogg's Swimtastic for more than five years, said: Kellogg's Swimtastic is a brilliant way of recognising people that have achieved their personal goals in the pool. It highlights some of the heart-warming, courageous and motivational stories of the people involved.
Gold and bronze Paralympic medallist Sam Hynd, who himself receives support from Team Kellogg's, added: “It’s fantastic to see such determination from so many people in a sport that I love: swimming!
The sport has given me so much already and helped me to overcome my disability and it is great to give back something and hopefully encourage others to do the same! If you believe in yourself anything is possible!”
Great Britain water polo player James Wannop added: “Everyone at the Kellogg's ASA Swimtastic Awards has a fantastic time; a time to always remember.”
