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.

Today I broke my record...

I swam 72 lengths today which was 2 lengths more than I have ever swum before.  I did have to get out of the pool twice to go to the toilet but daddy said it was Ok because I would be allowed to get out of the channel onto a boat if I needed a wee. I wanted to break my best record, and I did so I'm very happy and daddy gave me a pound for my piggy bank, but he forgot to buy my chocolate because we were late and it was nearly past my bedtime when I got out of the pool. It was already night time dark.

I had egg, beans and toast for my tea. Daddy says that's the food of champions and I'm a record breaking champion.
