Swimming Victoria is deeply saddened by the sudden death of our friend and colleague, Tim Frampton, while playing his beloved cricket on Saturday afternoon, 21 November.
Tim, Swimming Victoria’s General Manager for more than four years was a highly respected and much loved member of the Swimming Victoria staff. With a background in the law before transitioning to sports management, Tim’s breadth of skills and experiences made a significant and positive difference to the organisation and our sport.
While we know Tim loved his time with swimming, it was his family that ignited his deepest passion and pride. It was a delight to hear his recollections of the latest developments of family life. The total love with which he spoke of his children, Liam, James and Alannah and wife Robyn were part of the Swimming Victoria office rhythm. And we loved it.
Tim leaves an enormous legacy both for his work and his friendship. He was a fine administrator and an outstanding person.
Our thoughts are with Robyn, Liam, James, Allanah and his immediate family. We are so sorry that he has left far too soon.
