Swimming career

[edit | edit source]

Walker is best known for winning the silver medal in the Men's 200 m Individual Medley at the inaugural 1993 FINA Short Course World Championships in Palma de Mallorca, Spain,[2] behind Germany's Christian Keller. He won a gold medal at the 1993 World Student Games in Buffalo, New York, USA[3] and represented Scotland at the 1994 Commonwealth Games where he won the bronze medal in the 200 Metres Individual Medley.[4][5]

In 1993, he became the first ever British swimmer to break the two-minute barrier for the 200 m individual medley with a time of 1 minute 58.35 at the World Championships in Palma De Mallorca.[2] This stood as the British record for four and a half years and the Scottish record for 14 years.[2] He swam for Warrender Baths Club in Edinburgh.[6]

At the ASA National British Championships, he won the 200 metres medley title in 1993 and 1995.[7][8]
