Awards host“Leon has hosted the Swim England awards most years since 2017, including taking the whole show online during COVID. We call him our ‘safe pair of hands’. He's part of the team: he works through the script with us, knows our sport inside out, and is genuine and caring with every winner on stage. On the night he's calm, warm and completely professional, whatever the running order throws at him. Our community loves him, and so do we.”
