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.

Got to hold one of those BIG cheques today...

Hello - The Salisbury Journal came to my football today to take a photo of me getting the £100 cheque for the money that  Little Kickers raised for me with Odd Socks day - it was like one of the huge cheques they have on Children in Need - it was nearly bigger than me - I was very proud. Daddy said thank you to everyone. I'm hoping I'll be in the Salisbury Journal this week, fingers crossed.
It's been a really busy today, Finlay had a exam in Swindon so we didn't get to the pool. But I'm still on track - more lengths on Monday. Love Oliver
