In the seven English Diving championships that were contested between 1908-20, Ernest Pott was champion four years in succession 1909-12, and was third on the other three occasions. His last podium finish was on the resumption of the Championship after World War I when he was 37-years-of-age. When he won his fourth title, a few months after the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Pott beat the US champion George Gaidzik into second place, with the reigning world champion Hjalmar Johansson of Sweden third. A mechanical engineer by trade, Pott emigrated to Canada in October 1920, and died there in 1953.
