Dreams Can Become Reality

Dreams Can Become Reality.....but it often takes belief from all concerned and consistent commitment over quite a period of time.

CaymanTechnical Director, Ian Armiger, takes up the story;

" 5 years ago the coach of 17 yr old Tilly Gray (pictured) was moving to another position and asked if she could join the programme at Loughborough University. We wouldn't normally take anyone under the age of 18yrs but as a favour we took her in as a 'wild card'....Tilly wasn't  a superstar age group swimmer at the time ( 1:04.7 100m fly, 2:21. 200m fly...not dissimilar to Lara Butler). Over the next 5 years she committed to the programme and made tremendous progress....gained a few international selections and graduated in Sport Science..On Tuesday evening she won the 200m butterfly at the US Open in 2:09.8 and qualified to represent Wales at the Commonwealth Games in 2014. I love it!"
