Stephen moved to Edinburgh in 2001 after 25 years in the Far East as a Civil Engineer (Hong Kong) and later as an investment banker (Japan). Formerly a marathon runner and a triathlete he turned to swimming when his knees said ‘enough’. He cycles most days from the Grange to swim and use the club. He joined the club in 2011 and became part of the board in March 2017 and concentrates on energy saving initiatives and was integral in bringing in the pool cover for the main pool.
