Alex McCallum Loughborough Bound

Alex McCallum swam the race of his life at the St Petersburg Aquatics Meet to secure a place in the prestigious Loughborough University Swim Squad.

Swimming in the 400m freestyle, Alex went through the first 200m in a lifetime best of 2:05. and finished the race witha huge lifetime best performance of 4:17.42; some 4 seconds+ inside the time required for the University's National Development Squad,

In Jamaica last December Alex also achieved the qualifying standard but the times had to be done after January 1st.

He is now able to swim in the programme and thanks to generous support from Ernst & Young his next 3yrs-4yrs of student life is looking very bright indeed.

Well Done Alex and Coach Andy!
