On their return from holiday, Sarah started lessons at the local pool in Hatfield. Ruth subsequently joined her sister in taking lessons, and it was not long before trials for Hatfield Swimming Club were suggested and successfully completed. So, the Mackenzie family became members of Hatfield Swimming Club. When there was a vacancy for the Hatfield Swimming Club treasurer, Ian took on the role, drawing on his financial expertise in banking. Meanwhile Ian’s involvement on poolside began. Not content to sit in the gallery on club nights, he qualified as a swimming teacher and coach, and assisted at club sessions on poolside. In later years he also coached at Buntingford Swimming Club and Bishops Stortford Swimming Club. He qualified as a timekeeper, a judge and a starter – the three qualifications being available via one course in those days, with three separate written examinations. He then qualified as a swimming referee. He thus became involved in all aspects of swimming officiating up to National level, and continues to this day at all levels. The Hertfordshire ASA needed a treasurer in 1986, and this started Ian’s involvement on the administration side of the sport - at County, District, Regional and National levels. He was the first Chairman of ASA East Region when it was set up in 2013, and he has served on the ASA and Swim England Boards for many years. He is the Chairman of the Institute of Swimming. His various volunteer roles cover many differing aspects of administration across all disciplines. He is also the National Secretary for the National Swimming League, and has secured sponsorship to ensure its continued existence and success. Ian is very honoured to become President of Swim England, in continuation of his volunteering in all aspects of our sport.
