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.

Counting Down Now - 5.1 miles to go....

Happy Halloween !!!! I had a really good swim tonight - the pool was quiet because I think everyone was out Trick or Treating.... I got my treat after my swim, a Twix from the machine - yummy. 
We all swam together today 60 lengths for me, 50 for Finlay, 52 for Daddy and 56 for Mummy. Mummy swam the last 10 with me so Daddy could have a rest!! I want to keep it up this week to make sure I finish in good time.
I was really pleased that the swimmer Sharron Davies retweeted for me yesterday which told another 4,700 people about my Swim - thank you Sharon. I've got quite a following on Twitter now - take a look my twitter page
