Kenneth Robert Hamilton Deane (23 August 1921 – 1997) was a male swimmer who competed for England.

Swimming career

[edit]

Deane represented England in the freestyle events at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[1][2]

Personal life

[edit]

During the Games in 1938 he lived at Surbiton Lodge, High Street, Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk and was a student. His training schedule during the winter included a daily 100 mile round trip because the nearest swimming pool was in Ipswich, the Norwich pool was only open during the summer months.
