Swim Wales Poster

This is a poster that my dad +Darwin Davies has done for the City of Leicester squad for when we go to the Welsh Nationals in a few days. It's a photo of me at my first open meet about 4 years ago!

A drive in a Caterham!

Just before we go into the last week of training for the season, I was lucky enough to be taken out by +Guy Worrow to let my hair down (or up!) in his Caterham. It was supremely quick (0-60 in 4.6 sec) and low to the ground.....could have stayed out all day :)

Next stop British Gas Swim Wales Summer Nationals!

Braunstone Sprints 3 Gold's and a Silver!

I had a great day on Sunday at the Braunstone Sprints Open Meet, it was good to spend all day with my Sharks mates, hadn't seen a few of them for a while. Got some good times, would have liked to have dropped a second on my 50 free and 50 fly as I've been working on my fly, lots have improved but I want the times to show it. It'll be my last Braunstone Sprints so it was good to finish well.

I came 2nd in the boy's aggregate time by just under a second, it was my fly and free that cost me first place but I'm very happy with what i've got as I'm not really a sprinter!

My Personal Best Times

You'll see a screen shot below of all of my current pb's. I'm looking forward to the Braunstone Swimming Club Sprint meet this Sunday where I'll be competing with 68 Leicester Sharks swimmers, we'll be the biggest club there. It'll be good to get some short course 50m sprint times in the bag. The following week it's the City of Leicester long course sprint meet  where we'll be at the Loughborough ITC 50m pool

Hopefully I can get plenty of pb's over the next couple of weeks before we go to the Welsh Nationals at the end July before a well earned rest over the summer :)
