Well done Sarah - you did Pudsey Proud!

At the same time as the younger swimmers were working their magic at Knottingley, Sarah was strutting her fabulous stuff at the GB trials. There were over 50 swimmers trying out in senior and junior sections; Sarah tried out for both and came 14th in both sections! This is a huge success for Sarah and judges on the day commented on how well she did. The top 12 junior and top 9 senior swimmers got selected to relocate to to the National Centre of Excellence in Aldershot where they will train for the Olympics. Sarah was extremely close to getting in and will be continuing her development ready for next year. As a part of her training she will be doing a duet with Heba - what better way to train for the Olympics than to swim with a past Olympic star!

Sarah got to where she is today with pure dedication - she had to make sacrifices like not going out with her friends, stretching everyday even when she just wanted to watch TV after a hard day at school but most of all, she had the belief that she could do it. Sarah is a prime example of how synchronised swimmers need to succeed, so for all those future Olympic hopefuls at Pudsey - Sarah did it and so can you!
