A bit more about Alex –

National Titles / Medals – British Olympic Trials Bronze medallist 1500m, Multiple National medallist across long and short course.

Favourite stroke and event; I’m a Distance Freestyler, I also love racing backstroke and shorter freestyle events.

Favourite racing venue in the UK; The London Aquatics Centre. Its an awesome pool with lots of history and was a big part in my journey and breakout year!

Favourite arena race suit; My Favourite suit is the Arena Powerskin Primo, it has a great balance between buoyancy and compression which I need to swim fast in my events.

Favourite training set; My Favourite set has to be the classic 40x50m set. Most of the the time the set is run as a 200 pace set with lots of 50s rest. However I like to do it with a distance flare! 16x50m @ 1500 pace 12x50m @ 800 pace 8x50m @400 pace 4x50m @ 200 pace. Not necessarily the hardest set but it is great fun to race my teammates on lots of pace work.

Music; My favourite pre-race song is ‘Stayin Alive’ by the Bee Gee’s

TV Series; Game Of Thrones, maybe not season 7 those who know, know.

TV / Film; Avatar, as I have been compared to one being very tall and skinny.
