Hi Everyone
It's been a really exciting today - I won the Outstanding Young Person Award in the Heart of Somerset Awards 2012. I went with Mummy and Daddy to a special awards ceremony at Wookey Hole Caves. There were loads of really great people who had done brave and inspiring things. I was really surprised to win my category, I didn't think I would.
They played the video of me swimming and I was really pleased that my swimming looked really cool with the underwater camera. I got to take home two framed certificates and also won £100! Everyone knew who I was today, it was like being famous.
I met Valerie Singleton too, she was doing all the talking on stage. Daddy said she was like Helen Skelton on Blue Peter when he was little. She was very friendly.
Well done to everyone who was at the awards today, I really enjoyed hearing all the stories about the kind and brave things people in Somerset had done.
I really need Daddy to put me up a special trophy shelf now!!
Love Oliver
OLIVER'S SWIM - This blog was set up to tell the story of my attempt to be the youngest person to complete the 2011 Aspire Channel Swim. Since finishing this challenge I continue to work hard to be an even better swimmer.
