It is with great sadness that we inform you that Steve Little has passed away. Steve was a long term key member of Thanet Swim Club, holding many Committee roles including Chairman and was well known throughout the Kent Swimming community in his role as referee. He will be greatly missed as both a mentor and friend to many.
