Information
[edit]Cleworth is a relative of Addin Tyldesley,[1] who competed in the men's 100 metre freestyle event at the 1908 Summer Olympics. Duncan's ancestors were said to be a famous swimming family.[1] Like his family members, he swam at the Tyldesley Swimming and Water Polo Club, where he was later declared one of their most famous members.[2]
Cleworth competed in the men's 400 metre individual medley at the 1976 Summer Olympics.[3] During the Olympics, Duncan announced that he was going to the University of Miami on a swimming scholarship[4] and but ended up leaving the college in 1977.[5]
He represented England in the 100 and 200 metres individual medley events, at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[6][7] At the ASA National British Championships he won the 200 metres medley title in 1977 and 1978.[8][9]
