10th July 2007: A Sutton S.C.Olympian... well, the next best thing! A British Swimming manager, who is a former Sutton Swimming Club swimmer, and the daughter of proud Sutton S.C. coaches, Gren and Christine Greaves, has been formerly selected to undertake a prestigious International Olympic Committee course after being nominated by the British Olympic Association. British Swimming World Class Operations Manager Wendy Lockton was initially put forward for the course by the governing body for aquatics before being nominated by the British Olympic Association as its only candidate for the Executive Masters in Sport Organisations Management Course (MEMOS). With only around 30 places available from around the world of sport, the MEMOS courses are both exclusive and highly regarded and Wendy will be inducted onto the 12-month training initiative in September. Wendy will have to complete four modules as part of the course that draws on the expertise of a team of professors as well leaders and professionals from the world of international sport. It's a unique chance for Wendy to gain personal development and to put in to place her new-found skills as part of the World Class set up within British Swimming. "It's a fantastic opportunity both for British Swimming and for me personally," said Wendy. "I will be learning new skills from some of the world's most intelligent and experienced sporting professionals and that can only benefit everyone involved. "To be able to continue my education and put it into practice this knowledge as part of my role with British Swimming is very exciting. As we look to the 2012 London Olympics and beyond, these new skills will be invaluable as we help to stage the greatest games in the world. "It will enable me to put something back into a sport that I have a real passion for." The MEMOS mission is to help professionals working in national or international sports bodies to develop the knowledge required in order to better manage their organisations. Lockton will undergo four week-long modules in Lausanne, Switzerland; Saarbrucken, Germany; Sydney, Australia and concluding at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Modules to be covered comprise Strategic Management and Sport Governance, Marketing Management, Human Resource Management and Performance Management of Sports Organisations. Well done Wendy from all at Sutton Swimming Club!
