More global representation for University of Bath student swimmers at 2024 World Short Course Championships

The University of Bath student swimming club will once again be represented on the global stage when Aryaan Din and Sam Williamson compete at the 2024 World Aquatics Short Course Championships in Budapest.
Economics student Din will represent Pakistan in the 100m and 200m freestyle, while Williamson – who studies Sports Performance – will race for Bermuda in the 200m and 400m individual medley.
It will be a global debut for both students, who are coached by Mark Skimming and Andrei Vorontsov at the Team Bath Sports Training Village, although Williamson has previously represented his country at the Pan-American Games.
The selections are a fitting way to cap an excellent year for the student swimming squad, which saw three of its members – Henrique Mascarenhas (Angola), Ridhwan Mohamed (Kenya) and Tobi Sijuade (Nigeria) – compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Olympic silver-medallist Ben Proud, who also represents the club, will be competing at the World Short Course Championships too as part of a British team which features Alumni Fund Sporting Scholar Joshua Gammon and his Aquatics GB Bath Performance Centre training partners Freya Anderson and Jacob Peters.
The Championships take place in Budapest from 10th to 15th December.
Student swimmers will also be competing in the English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish and Dutch Winter Short Course Championships during a busy end to the year.
