Hello Everyone
I've had a really exciting week following the Heart of Somerset Awards. I've had so many people sending their congratulations - thank you everyone. I was in the paper this week too, the story is on line here and if you use the scroll bar on the pictures you can see the one of me and my award plus the group one with Valerie Singleton. http://www.thisissomerset.co.uk/Heroes-heart-Somerset-honoured/story-17033923-detail/story.html
Just when we thought it couldn't get better..... I had a surprise letter.... it said that I am a finalist for the ASA Swimtastic Young Swimmer of the Year award. This is a National award, Simone and Mummy say it's a big deal, it means I'm in the top three in the country. And Mummy, Daddy, Finlay and I get to go for a special weekend in Sheffield for the event. First I get a big fun swim with lots of Olympic and Paralympic Swimmers and then in the evening we have to dress up very smart and go to a big dinner to see which of the finalists will be the winner. There will be another film about me swimming for everyone to see. It's so exciting, I can't quite believe it. I have to go and buy something new to wear. It's only 2 weeks away on 20 October, I can't wait.
I will let you know how I get on and in the meantime I will keep swimming my best.
Lots of 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.
