Rebecca Adlington: "We don't get into swimming to be famous or make money – it is because you love swimming... I can look back and have no regrets... To be on the podium in London with 17,000 chanting your name was the best feeling..."

Lord Coe: "Becky Adlington's success in Beijing inspired a generation to get in the pool. Her down-to-earth personality and remarkable career achievements have made her a national treasure. Becky's vision for the future of grassroots swimming in this country will create a wonderful legacy from one of our greatest Olympians. I have no doubt this vision will be pursued with the same drive, dedication and determination as Becky displayed in the pool."

American swimming legend Michael Phelps: "Her accomplishments speak for themselves; she has been a great representative for British swimming and the sport overall."

Australian swimming ace Ian Thorpe: "Becky can look back on her career with huge pride and satisfaction. I'm delighted she's decided to create her own legacy, establishing swimming as a life skill is such an important crusade."

Sir Chris Hoy: "The sheer scale of what she has achieved, not only for herself but for swimming in this country, is amazing. She's been the standard-bearer of her sport for a long time and I expect that to be the case for many years to come."
