Fancy a challenging job in the triathlon industry? Well, British Triathlon will likely soon be searching for a new Chief Executive Officer with the news today that Jack Buckner is to step down from the role after three years to join British Swimming.

“There’s great energy and spirit that exists in triathlon, and I’ll be sad to leave that behind, but this is a great opportunity for me to lead British Swimming.
