Alyson Jones

Alyson Jones

Dr. Alyson Jones (born 1956) is a British GP and former swimming champion. She was born in Middlesbrough in North-East England and attended local schools. She began training as a competitive swimmer at local clubs such as Eston and Hartlepool, winning several titles in the Northumberland and Durham Swimming Association. In 1974, at age 17, she competed in the Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand, winning a bronze medal in the 4×100 m freestyle relay.

Following this, she ceased competitive swimming to study medicine at the University of Nottingham. Remarkably, in 1985 she returned to competitive swimming at the age of 28, gaining national ranking in freestyle. This was four years before Olympic medallist Sharron Davies also returned to top level competition at the age of 26.

Alyson is interested in sports medicine, and has accompanied British teams abroad as team doctor. She currently holds the Masters Record for the 100 m freestyle, age group 35-39, set at Sheffield in 1992. She lives and practises medicine in Essex. She has been associated with the Swiss Cottage swimming club.
