Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. You can read about my challenge to be the youngest boy ever to complete the Aspire Channel Swim and also follow my journey towards being an even better swimmer. You can also read about my achievements along the way - like being the 2012 Kellogg's ASA Swimtastic Young Swimmer of the Year.
I completed the Channel swim when I was 6 years old - the task was to swim the equivalent of the English Channel in a pool in 12 weeks. That's 22 miles, or 1416 lengths of a 25m pool - this meant swimming 118 lengths a week, every week for the duration of the challenge. I finished the swim in 11 weeks and got my first swimming record.

BY DOING THIS I BECAME THE YOUNGEST BOY EVER TO COMPLETE THE ASPIRE CHANNEL SWIM and raised over £1273 to help people with spinal injuries.

Now I'm working to be an even better swimmer. I know I can swim for long distances, now I am working on swimming faster.

IN 2020 I'LL BE 15 - MICHAEL PHELPS SWAM IN HIS FIRST OLYMPICS WHEN HE WAS 15 - THAT'S MY DREAM TOO.

Fast swimming today...

Hello everyone. I had school swimming today - mummy came to count my widths in Warminster pool, I sat next to her on the bus on the way back and Finlay sat next to mummy on the way. 
I did 100 widths while everyone else in Woodpeckers had their lesson - that's 1000 metres. I had to swim really quick to get as much done as possible in the time. I've got under 20 miles to go now, I'm really pleased.
If you've not seen it yet - mummy has added a little progress chart on this page (see right) which shows you how I'm doing.

p.s I'm in First News this week - the national newspaper for children - most schools have a copy so have a look.
