TOPICS:
Grant learnt to swim on a family holiday in Florida.
He was an unused member of the British 4x100m freestyle relay team at the World Championships in 2009 but it was in 2011 in Shanghai that Grant made his global debut.
He formed part of the sprint squad in China and performed the same role at London 2012 after securing his place with 100m freestyle silver at the Olympic trials in June 2012.
Grant has also achieved a silver medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.
Grant currently works with disengaged young people using his experience in sport to assist them in there own lives.
Grant also has his own swimming academy that he started with his partner and fellow Olympic swimmer Joanne Jackson.
The swim academy teaches children from the age of three and focuses on water confidence and safety so that they can enjoy the water as much as Grant has.
Our kids came back buzzing. We may not have won but in my eyes the gold medal is the positive experience had by our students in meeting Grant Turner.
Teacher, Wilts School Games
It was fantastic to have such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Sporting Champion visit our School Games. Grant went above and beyond what we could have hoped from and teachers, young people and staff all thought very highly of him.
