Official Gym Opening with Tom Dean, Olympic Freestyle Swimmer and Gold Medalist

On Monday 4th November 2024, LVS Ascot had a very special guest in the Sport Department, Tom Dean. Tom is a British competitive freestyle swimmer. He is a triple Olympic gold medallist, winning gold individually in 200 metre freestyle at the 2020 Summer Olympics and as part of a team in 4 × 200 m freestyle relay at the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Tom kindly gave up his time to officially open our new gym facility at LVS Ascot. The gym was built over the summer holidays and has now become an amazing space for our LVS Ascot students to benefit from. There is a whole variety of equipment to use from treadmills to stepper machines, and free weights to squat racks.

Tom spent the morning answering questions from our sports scholars from all year groups, providing an insight into the life of an Olympic Gold Medalist.
