Five-Time Olympic Swimming Champion; Author of "My Double Life"
Mark Foster Biography
Mark Foster is one of the UK’s most successful competitive swimmers. By the age of fifteen, he was the fastest swimmer in the country. During a career spanning 23 years, Foster won 51 international medals, competed at five Olympic Games, held World, European and Commonwealth titles, and smashed eight world records.
In 2008, he carried out the highest honor for a British athlete as flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony of The Olympic Games in Beijing, which he cites as one of his proudest moments.
Since retiring from the pool, Foster has forged a successful career as a commentator, TV personality, public speaker, philanthropist, and brand ambassador.
Foster’s professional and personal experience has given him a unique insight into the importance of a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle. He is passionate about encouraging and educating others to make healthier, mindful life choices, via his social media, fundraising and public speaking platforms.
Following his participation on "Strictly Come Dancing," Foster launched dance/fitness program FitSteps™ with dance professionals, Natalie Lowe and Ian Waite. He also trains and inspires the next generation of competitive swimmers via the Mark Foster Swimming Academy.
A dedicated philanthropist, Foster is patron of Anaphylaxis Campaign and Regain (in support of Tetraplegic athletes). He has also used his public profile to raise awareness for Wellchild, Sports Aid, Movember, The Prostate Cancer Charity and BT Swimathon. Since making the decision to come out publicly in 2017, he is also a spokesperson for the LGBTQ+ community, promoting compassion, equality and inclusion.
Always hungry for a challenge and well-known for his excellent sense of humor, Foster appears frequently as a pundit, panelist or celebrity contestant on television. His experience at the highest competitive level makes him a popular commentator on major sporting events such as The Olympics and The Commonwealth Games. He is a panel regular on BBC’s 'A Question of Sport," and has also taken part in the celebrity versions of "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire," "MasterChef," "Mastermind" and "Pointless." He partnered with Hayley Holt on 2008’s "Strictly Come Dancing."
Foster is a professional, knowledgeable, engaging, experienced and compassionate individual who constantly strives to use his experience and public profile to inspire, educate and entertain.
