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.

Salisbury Swim

Daddy took me swimming after football in Salisbury today.  We've never been to this pool before, it was really busy so it was difficult to do proper lengths without having to swim around people.  I did manage to do 34 though and afterwards we went on the big inflatable floaty thing - I managed to get all the way to the end but daddy fell off, then we went into the bubble spa and daddy got told off. Daddy is always getting told off, last week he got told off for swimming next to me in the lane swimming bit. Daddy says I'm nearly a quarter of the way to france.
