Michael Jamieson for the Daily Record

Hot on the heels of the Press Association (PA) wanting to run a couple of my photos from the SWIM4LEUKAEMIA event yesterday, see Andy Chubb Photography, the Daily Record in Scotland are keen on some pictures of Michael Jamieson.....

Michael was swimmer #50 in the World Record 100x100m event at Ponds Forge, Sheffield yesterday and spoke afterwards about how much he is looking forward to competing in his home town in front of Scottish fans at the Commonwealth Games in July/August.

Lewis Coleman is assembling other GB swimmers and Olympians to break a world record

GB Swimmer and member of City of Sheffield swimming, Lewis Coleman is raising funds for Leukaemia Research with a World Record attempt.

 

The record attempt will take place on the 1st February 2014 at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. The challenge itself will involve a relay team of 100 different swimmers each swimming 100m so that's 4 lengths of your local pool if it's 25m. The record currently stands at 1 hour 53 mins and 13 seconds, which is an average of 67.2 seconds per swimmer, thats less than 18 seconds per length. To beat the record the team will need to average faster than 67.2, I believe that the team will be able to average faster than that.
