Olympian Robbie Renwick has announced his retirement from competitive swimming.

The 28-year-old has competed at world, European and Commonwealth level for the last decade and won silver at the Rio Olympics this year.

The Aberdonian also claimed gold at the 2015 swimming World Championships in Kazan.

Announcing his retirement on Tuesday, Renwick said: "I've been lucky enough to share the pool with many talented swimmers over the years but to be part of Team GB at our most successful games ever is priceless and a perfect way to close such an incredible chapter in my life.

"Despite moving on from competitive swimming I will stay involved and I am looking forward to focusing my efforts on the development and business side of the sport.

"I feel passionately about sharing my knowledge with the next generation and mentoring younger athletes who are starting out in their career.

"I firmly believe that without the help and support of others no athlete can reach their full potential."

British Swimming head coach Bill Furniss said: "Robbie has been a great servant to the sport of swimming for well over a decade and in that time he has continually performed at the very highest level.

"He has won medals across the board and showed his class right up until the end of the career by becoming a relay world champion in 2015 and a 4x200m freestyle relay Olympic silver medallist in 2016.

"Rio was his third Olympic Games and his contribution to the development of the relay team was immense.

"Robbie's dedication and commitment has rewarded him with a long and productive career and I'm sure he will use these qualities in the next chapter of his life."
