11 year old Elliot Routledge qualified for six events in the National Age Group competition at Ponds Forge Sheffield, it was always going to be tough, with five grueling days of competition ahead of him and nursing a painful injury, but he took it in his stride, soaked up the atmosphere and gained valuable experience. The first three days saw him swim the 100m backstroke, 200m butterfly, 400m freestyle and 200m backstroke, he saved his best performances for the last two days knocking seconds off his 100m butterfly and 400m medley and breaking the fly club record by 3 seconds!
Well done Elliot!
