Bob Dudley, the CEO of British Patroleum, received the Gold Medallian Award this year from the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
The International Swimming Hall of Fame Gold Medallion Award is presented each year to a former competitive swimmer for his or her national or international significant achievements in the field of science, entertainment, art, business, education, or government. There are no restrictions other than the recipient must be an outstanding adult whose life has served as an inspiration for youth.
Peter Uberroth was awarded the Gold Medallian Award in 2013.
In each of these videos, Dudley talks about his swimming caree, what he learned from swimming, and then he added a lot of great commentary about the sport and the impact it makes.
Look at that picture… the most magnificent pool setting in the United States! Why would you do anything but update it and retain the ISHOF? Has USA Swimming weighed in on the matter?
