Beating the prolific and phenomenal Michael Phelps within the semi-final of his 2004 Athens competition, he set a then British and Commonwealth record.
Retiring after the 2008 Beijing Games, Steve Parry has set himself into a career within media commitments, providing his services as a sports speaker and after dinner speaker, and his mentoring scheme Total Swimming, which aims to provide motivation and guidance for the next generation of swimmers. An inspirational figure towards young athletes, Steve Parry is the ideal dinner guest as an Olympic Speaker.
