The City of London and the London Aquatic Club recently honoured four LAC members for their outstanding contribution to aquatic sport by inducting them onto the Judge Allan Guthrie Aquatic Wall of Fame at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. Three-time Paralympian Devin Gotell, 1977 World University Games finalist Ron Campbell, and super volunteers Rose Bloch-Hansen and Mark Lukings were all acknowledged for their outstanding work as either athletes or builders.
The Wall of Fame was established in 1992 to recognize those individuals who have made a significant contribution to aquatics while representing the City of London. The ceremony took place at LAC’s annual Hollandia Invitational Swim meet, which was attended by almost 800 swimmers from across southern Ontario.
A total of 98 LAC swimmers competed at the Western Region Long Course Championships in Windsor in early June and won the overall team title by almost 400 points. Later in June, LAC swimmers competed at the Provincial Championships in Markham and Scarborough, and in July they’ll will be competing at the junior and senior national championships.
