It is with great sadness that we have to share the sad news that Martyn Garner, a well respected official at Fox Hollies swimming club, and who had recently become Chair there too, passed away on the 26th May.

Martyn passed away unexpectedly, leaving his wife Helen and two children, Tom and Evie.

In his role as a swimming judge he was highly respected, and had almost completed his path towards becoming a referee.

As a local league, we would like to pay our respects to Martyn by holding a one minute’s silence before the start of the second round galas.

Taking the words from the Fox Hollies website “His kindness, warmth and smile will remain with us forever.”
