Swimming Australia's controversial year out of the pool has got worse with president Barclay Nettlefold stood down on Saturday.

Nettlefold was accused of making an inappropriate remark towards a female staff member in a lift at the Australian Swimming Championships in Adelaide last month.

The Swimming Australia board began to look into the comment on Friday but took further action today when another staff member came forward with a similar complaint.

Nettlefold has declined to comment on the allegations, although he may release a statement on Sunday.

SA director Nicole Livingstone told reporters in Melbourne on Saturday that the board had launched an independent investigation into the allegations.

"The board takes these allegations of inappropriate comments seriously," she read from a prepared statement.

"As such [the board] has made the decision that the president steps down to enable a full and independent review to be undertaken."

Livingstone and SA chief executive Mark Anderson said the allegations were to do with comments only and not incidents of inappropriate physical behaviour.

Went to Beaumaris High with Barclay - he played under 19s for the Saints. He popped a zit on my nose around 1980 and I still carry the mental scars- wonder if there is a dollar in it for me?

Looks tremendously under qualified to be CEO of anything

i thought with a name like Barclay he must have ben at a good school like Wesley or Scotch. That is a superbly aspirational name. I want one like that- something like Reginald Twattington-Smythe.

The mayor of Geelong would argue that a name doesn't mean much as far as career aspirations are concorned

But everyone knows you'll never hear any broadcaster or radio or tv show attempting to make a joke about Mr Fagg...not unless they value their job
