 Rebecca Adlington is a Notts County Council Swim Squad Swimmer of the Year. Rebecca has made outstanding progress. At the end of last season she indicated her potential when she returned from the European Youth Olympic Festival with 2 silver medals, but just 12 short months later she is European Junior Champion.
Her performance at the Olympic Trials was one of the shocks of the event, she reduced her personal best time by 13 seconds in one swim to take second place and only narrowly missed selection for the Olympic Team. Rebecca now ranks first in the world for 15 year old girls and her potential has been recognised by British Swimming. Rebecca was invited to train with the Olympic squad on both pre Olympic training camps this season. Rebecca is a hard working and committed individual and is an example of what can be achieved when high standards and high goals are complimented with an exceptional work ethic.
Update: Rebecca won double gold at the Olympics in 2008! She won the 400m and 800m freestyle - breaking the world record on the 800m! |
