He competed in the men's tournament at the 1956 Summer Olympics.[1] He was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1972 for the most career caps of any British water polo player—a total of 95[2]—and received an MBE that same year.[3]

In his later years, Pass lived in County Offaly, Ireland. He died in 2012[2] of bowel cancer.[3]
