We're off to the City of Sheffield Summer Meet this weekend at Ponds Forge for a 2 day open meet, it'll be an interesting one especially at the end of a busy year/season.

Here's a random picture of me at the Farnborough Air Show last Sunday. We won tickets from FIAT on twitter and spent the whole day there...it was awesome (more pictures to come)

Good Result at Derventio Open Meet

A belated Happy New Year to all!

In my last post I was preparing to go to the Derventio meet at Ponds Forge. I had a great weekend and got good pb's on 6 out of 7 races, I was really pleased, as it was Christmas it was a great atmosphere and most of the squad swam really well. It was one of our targeted meets so results had to be good as it would prove that we'd been training right for the last couple of months!

This Saturday i'll be at Sheffield once again, just competing in a few races at the

City of Derby Open Meet. These are my events

Session 1: 200m IM, 200m Freestyle

Session 2: 400m Freestyle

Once I've finished my 400m Freestyle, it's a quick change and off to the first round of the Leicester Winter League at Corby International Pool....it's gonna be a busy day ;)

Leicester Sharks Club Championships and City of Leicester Distance Meet

It was the final round of Leicester Sharks internal club championships over the last couple of weekends. I gained slight PB's on all 12 events and took 10 golds and 2 silver medals for my age group. It was a nice relaxed club atmosphere and it was good to see my teammates that I don't get to see very often.

Below is the customised programme cover that my dad produced for last weekend of the championships ;)

It's also the weekend of the City of Leicester distance meet, where we'll be competing as a quite a large squad, i'm in for 5 events over the 2 days.

My events are:

200m Freestyle

400m Freestyle

200m Backstroke

200m Breaststroke

200m I.M
