Swimming career

He trained with the City of Edinburgh Swimming Club, Scotland under coach Tim Jones. Salter twice competed at the Summer Olympics (1996 and 2000) for Great Britain. He is best known for winning the 1997 European title in the men's 4×200 m freestyle relay, alongside Paul Palmer, Andrew Clayton and Gavin Meadows.[1] He represented England and won a bronze medal in the freestyle relay event, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[2][3] Four years later he represented England again winning a silver medal in the same event.[4] A third Games appearance came in 2002 where he also won a third freestyle relay medal.[5]

He is a four times winner of the British Championship in 200 metres freestyle (1994, 1997, 2003, 2004) and twice 400 metres freestyle champion in 2002 and 2003.[6][7]

gollark: I'm not sure about real estate, it's not like you can trivially swap 1km² of land somewhere for 1km² elsewhere.
gollark: I'm *guessing* your complaint is along the lines of "people need water → no trading of it allowed → commoditisation involves that" but I can only really guess.
gollark: Yes, but that means multiple things ish.
gollark: Are you complaining about water being sold for money, or about it being approximately the same anywhere?
gollark: Oh, apparently it means that AND saleable thing. Interesting. I guess both are fine for water.
