DUNCAN SCOTT added another accolade to his already bustling collection, as he won Swimmer of the Year at the Scottish Swimming Awards 2024.

One of Alloa’s most famous sons, Scott continued to make headlines as he became Scotland’s most decorated Olympian for his performances at the Paris Olympics 2024.

Scott earned a gold medal for the 4x200m freestyle relay and a silver medal in the 200m medley singles event.

For his efforts, he was awarded the Swimmer of the Year award at the annual celebration, which hailed the efforts of the University of Stirling’s swim programme, which Scott has spent almost a decade on.

The annual awards show took place at The Event Complex Aberdeen on Saturday, September 21.

In addition, he was also the recipient of the JY Coutts Memorial Award and the Nancy Riach Memorial Award.

Stirling Uni coaches Steven Tigg and Bradley Hay were joint recipients of the Coach of the Year.

Hay said: “This is a great testament to the team behind the programme; the University of Stirling, Scottish Swimming, the sportscotland Institute of Sport and Aquatics GB.

“This is when we take a step back and reflect and celebrate the achievements of the athletes.

“It’s been an intense season: the trials environment, the pressure on the athletes and getting them to the Olympic Games is one thing, but then going onto actually perform at the Olympics is something else – so this summer has been a celebration of all of the hard work they’ve put in.”
