Paul Howe has competed for Great Britain Paul Howe has won 2 bronze medals at the Olympic Games

Paul Howe is a swimmer who has competed for Great Britain. He competed at the 1984, 1988, and 1992 Summer Olympic Games.

Howe started his Olympic career at Los Angeles 1984, where he helped his British teammates Neil Cochran, Paul Easter, and Andrew Astbury set their national record for a bronze in the 4x200 metres freestyle relay, lagging nine seconds behind the American hosts and the West Germans.

Seoul 1988 turned out to be lackluster for Howe as he struggled to find his best form from Los Angeles. He only reached the B-finals of the 200 metres freestyle and almost missed the final with the British men's team in the 4x200 metres freestyle relay heats by more than three seconds.

Howe added the 100 metres freestyle and 4x100 metres freestyle relay to his lineup at Barcelona 1992. His outcomes remained mediocre in the sprint and distance freestyle double (100 and 200), failing to advance from the prelims in the 100 and landing on the thirteenth spot in the B-finals of the 200. Howe also helped the fledgling British men's team reclaim their final spot in the 4x200 metres freestyle relay by finishing sixth with a national record and secure a penultimate spot of the top eight teams in the 4x100 metres freestyle relay.
