Biography

Luke Thomas Michael Hall (born 16 April 1989) is a Swazi swimmer.

He competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics where he was the flag bearer for his country.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he came fourth in his heat with the time of 23.48s.

His preparation for the Olympics was a very tough process. He was given a wildcard entry into the London 2012 Olympic Games. After his race, Luke said to the press "My hard work has paid off coming into the Olympics. But for Swaziland, we need pools like these {Pointing at olympic pool} in order to be able to compete in this event". This has certainly raised awareness in Swaziland and the government has already decided in putting in 20 m pools in some areas of Swaziland (Now Eswatini after name change).
