Well 6 weeks on the road had finished…6 weeks, 6 Countries, 5 meets, 4 gold and 1 bronze!

It has been a tough tour this year as i trained pretty hard all through the 6 weeks. Getting up and racing time and time again was very tiring! But I think I have made some good gains and looking forward to coming home!

Have finished 3 meets out the 5 that we had planned for this overseas trip. The first 3 were pretty rough, the series is called the “Mare Nostrum”. It’s a series we do pretty much every year and is a lot of fun, however I was training through [...]

Here is a photo from last week where I spent the day with Old Yarrenlea School in Brisbane. Old Yarrenlea was the lucky school who won an Uncle Tobys’ swim clinic hosted by me - they won the competition by posting in three barcodes from Uncle Tobys products. It was amazing that they won out of all [...]
