Following on from my first event in the County Championships (1500m freestyle), the next 3 weekends will be full of swimming in all of the other events, below is a summary of swims in front of me. I came 4th overall in the county last year, it's gonna be tough this year but i'm hoping to make some regional qualifying times in the process.

Ranked 3rd in the county for 1500m freestyle

Hi Guys, Sunday saw the first round of the Leicestershire County Championships held at Loughborough University. There were 2 events during the day, the girls/open 800m freestyle and the boys/open 1500m.

I was swimming as a Leicester Shark with my dad as coach for the swimmers we had there. It's been a year since I last did the 1500m and 2 years since I did it long course. I had a great swim, felt really relaxed and in control of everything, as a swimmer I rarely feel that much in control of the water.....it's usually fighting back :)

My time was 18:14:46, converted to short course is 17:55:5 which is only 4 secs away from my regional (Midlands) qualifying time. I pushed really hard so it was a nice surprise to see I was so close and even better to get Bronze in my age group making me 3rd in the county.
