Peter Roycroft like many people, started his involvement with swimming when his daughters joined their local swimming club in Amersham. From that time onward, he has been on an all-too-familiar journey, first being persuaded to pick up a stopwatch at club champs and then moving along the officials journey to eventually becoming a referee in 2020.
He became a member of the Amersham Swimming and Diving Club committee, serving in various capacities before becoming Vice Chair and, subsequently, Club Chairman for five years.
In 2023, he was elected as Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire County President, a role he enjoyed so much that he agreed to become Vice President for the 2023/24 year.
As a referee, he has officiated at meets across the South East, and further afield, giving something back to a sport that has given hhim and his family so much.
Peter says that he is very much looking forward to joining and supporting the regional team and involving himself in the variety of activities that the region does. Peter will take over from Sara Todd next year.
