Sebastien Paddington (born June 23, 1977) is a Trinidad and Tobago former swimmer, who specialized in middle-distance freestyle events.[1] He represented Trinidad and Tobago at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and later became the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT).[2][3] Paddington is also a graduate with a bachelor's degree in geography at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.[4]
Paddington competed only in the men's 200 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[5] He eclipsed a FINA B-cut of 1:55.05 from the Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[6] He challenged four other swimmers in heat one, including Uzbekistan's two-time Olympian Oleg Tsvetkovskiy. Entering the race with a fastest-seeded time, he faded shortly to third place by 0.47 seconds behind Tsvetkovskiy in 1:55.40. Paddington failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-seventh overall in the prelims.[7][8]
