Great piece covering our man @JacobWhittle11, and his journey, including the influence of our Head Coach, Glenn Fisher, in his early development! Well said Jay and all the best for Paris! “Bonne Chance!” 🏊🏼 💨 🇬🇧
At just 19 years old, @JacobWhittle11, heads into his second Olympics looking to progress from his efforts in Tokyo 👊 Ahead of #Paris2024, he's looked back on the start of his journey that's taken him from Ripley Rascals to a world, European and Commonwealth medallist! 🇬🇧 👇

Such a privilege to have had @DerbyExcelPerf in for some performance testing and his week supported by our amazing @TeamDerby workforce. Impressive specimens putting up some big numbers, including a casual 60cm vertical jump… 🤯 @DerbyUniSportEx @andy_hooton

The infamous and unapologetic voice of @georgie_pryor right there !
Face every race with a smile (and get supporters like @Imiclark1999 has) This clip taken from “Leaving it all in the pool” - watch the film here: pullbuoy.co.uk/imogen/

Surely common sense has to prevail here! Otherwise 4 deserving swimmers will not be competing in an event they’ve rightfully qualified in due to a clear human error. We all make mistakes, own it and put it right @westmidswimming
Devastated that our boys 4x200 relay was DQ’d for this takeover after a superb effort at @westmidswimming Champs. Any advice on sensible next steps would be massively appreciated. We really feel they deserve better. @Sw_EngTalent @StateOfSwimming @Swim_England @Aquatics_GB

Thanks Josh 🙏🏼 Thoroughly enjoyed it !
An outstanding set of masterclasses from @DerbyExcelPerf Director of Swimming John Adye. He took our level 6s through energy systems development in swimming and the post-grads through planning and periodisation. Invaluable experiences for our learners, linking theory to practice
