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.

Only 2 swims to France & Great Racing in Squad Today

Hello Everyone - I had a really great time at swimming squad today - Finlay came too for the first time and did really well. We got to do races which were really good fun - I love racing. We did lots of underwater work  - we had to do whole widths underwater, then get out take a breath, dive in straight away and do another width underwater - we did this 6 times - I was really puffed. 
This is the last week of my swim -  only 2 swims left to my finish!
