}} Jack Irwin Hale (8 June 1922 – 29 February 2008) was an English competitive swimmer who represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games and England in the British Empire Games. When London hosted the 1948 Summer Olympics, he competed in three events. His best finish was seventh in the event final of the men's 400-metre freestyle. He also swam in the preliminary heats of the 1,500-metre freestyle and the 4x200-metre freestyle relay, but did not advance in either event.〔Sports-Reference.com, Olympics Sports, Athletes, ( Jack Hale ).

He also received a bronze medal with the third-place English team of Donald Bland, Pat Kendall and Ray Legg in the men's 4x220-yard freestyle relay. Individually, he also competed in the preliminary heats of the 440-yard freestyle event.〔 Hale missed the 1952 Summer Olympics, following an accident in which he suffered broken ribs when a diver landed on top of him. Afterward he retired from competitive swimming, and became a swimming instructor and coach in his hometown of Kingston upon Hull, working for nearly 40 years with his wife Valerie, teaching local children to swim. He died in Hull in 2008.〔"(Jack Hale )," ''The Yorkshire Post'' (15 March 2008).
