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.

Turning practice today....

I had my lesson with Simone this morning and we were working on my turns - tumble turns and underwater swimming at the start of a length - like a dolphin with rocket arms! I love doing this as it's like my swimming hero Ryan Lochte - I've watched him do it on the TV loads with Michael Phelps. Mummy says it was quality rather than quantity today and that every little helps.  PS. Tom Daley is my No.1 British hero, but I haven't had the chance to try cool diving like him......yet!
