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.

Odd Socks Day Raises £100 For My Swim


I had football today and my Little Kickers manager had arranged an 'odd socks' day to help raise money for my swim. Everyone had odd socks on - one of my coaches even wore one sock with pink hearts on it! Mummy got a bit teary at all the support - all the classes had odd socks on - they were everywhere. Everyone who wore odd socks donated  £1 - we raised £100 today - which is great. I hope you like the picture - that's me with the ball!
I went swimming with Daddy, Mummy and Finlay this afternoon and swum another 40 lengths - I got a Curly Wurly as a treat. It's been a really good day today, it was so brilliant that all my friends at football supported me.
