Channel Island Championships 2012

I had a very successful weekend in Jersey for Channel Island Championships.  To be honest I was a bit worried as to how I would perform as not been training much since returning from Millfield where I was on the England Talent camp, but I was really pleased with myself as I came away winning 12 out of 12 events all were age group championship records and three were Island records, two were my own in the 200 fly  and the 200IM in a time of 2.16.84 and 2.17.20,  my other one was the 100IM which was previously held by Helen Watts since 2000 in a time of 1.04.65 so I was really pleased with that one.  Now overall I hold 26 out of 35 short and long course Island records.
 I was also pushed in a few events by my friend Ella Dias from Tigers Swimming Club, it’s always good to have competition!
So overall I got 3 personal best times 12 age group records, 3 Island Records and was awarded the best Guernsey female.
