Background
I have been a keen swimmer since I learnt to swim at the age of 4 living in Bahrain. The Bahrain British Club had an excellent programme for teaching and developing young swimmers.
I was then able to improve my swimming skills in Tenerife a good number of years later. I trained in Puerto de la Cruz at the Club Natación Martiánez where there was an olympic sized 50m outdoor pool.
While doing my A'levels in Winchester I trained with the Penguins swimming club and was occasionally selected for a few events. Unfortunately, at this time I discovered that I had stopped growing about a foot short of what I needed to become a decent swimmer.
Since then I have swum regularly at irregular intervals.
Recent Events
