Leeds Christmas Cracker


I have just come back from the Leeds Christmas Cracker competition. I didn’t really perform as well as I had hoped...It was the most horrible weather conditions I have ever been in. It was -7 degrees on most days and it was freezing on poolside and in the pool, which wasn’t great! However, I got 6 personal best times, which were in my Back and Breast events and my 50 free. My biggest achievement of the competition was the 50 free skins. This was my first time participating in the skins as it is the top 8 people in a 50 event, so I had never been fast enough before. I went into the race in 5th place and came out 1st over a number of heats. I won 3 heats and the final one making it 4 out of 7. Overall I won some money and a lovely glass trophy for winning overall. I also won best girl for my age group. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wish you a happy new year!
