Britain’s most successful swimmers ever, winning 2 Gold medals at the Commonwealth Games and Silver at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.

Retiring from competition in 1994, Sharron built a successful career as a television presenter. As a key member of BBC television’s commentating and presenting team she has covered many major events including the Seoul, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens and Beijing Olympics.

As a patron of Disabled Sport England and The Sports Aid Foundation, Sharron devotes much time to charity. However, it is with her very own annual swimming event, Swim for Life, that she has become widely known.
