Reece Dunn among 34 selected for British Para-Swimming’s World Class Programme

December 2, 2021

Paralympic gold medalist Reece Dunn is among the 34 athletes that have been selected for the British Para-Swimming’s World Class Programme for 2022.

Dunn was one of the top medal winners for Team GB at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, collecting a total of five medals (three gold, one silver, one bronze) and setting four world records across his individual and team events.

Some of the athletes joining him on the Podium squad are Bethany Firth and Maisie Summers-Newton while swimmers such as Will Perry and Lyndon Longhorne have been chosen for the Podium Potential team.

British Para-Swimming head coach Rob Aubry said: “We are really excited by the group that we have been able to invite on to our programmes after a memorable Paralympic Games, as we look to kick on from that performance into 2022 and the next, shortened Games cycle.

“There was no shortage of standout swims in Tokyo, and we know our Podium and Podium Potential groups will do everything they can to keep those high standards in competition, as well as in their training and preparation, something we will support them in at every single stage.

“The fact that there are so many young athletes on the programme is so promising.

The way these swimmers and many more have dealt with the challenges of the past two years says even more about their character and the good they are doing for British Para-Swimming, in and out of the pool.”
