He has now broken the Record 5 Times in the past two months.

Medical Declaration forms - information you need to know!
There is a requirement for swimmers to inform the ASA and British Swimming regarding any medication that they are taking. A form must be returned to the ASA by all swimmers who are competing at international level and also by all swimmers who compete in national events run by British Swimming, ASA, Scottish or Welsh ASA’s. The form must be completed whether you are taking any medication or not - medication includes any vitamins and supplements. For your information, the guidelines from British Swimming can be viewed on their website under 'Forms' - http://www.britishswimming.org/vsite/vcontent/page/custom/0,8510,5157-183239-200457-43373-271711-custom-item,00.html.
This means that any swimmer with a National Qualifying Time for the Age Groups, Youth Championships or Open Championships must send in a form to the ASA. To ensure that this is not overlooked, all swimmers on Nova A and B Squads should send in a form.
As the instructions explain a new form must be sent in each year, or whenever there is a change in medication. A new form will be provided to all members each year with their AGM information, and they can be obtained during the year through the Squad coaches or downloaded from the British swimming website. New Committee member Graham Davies has taken over selling the Nova kit.
A new form with his details is available below, or see your coaches for details. Please note: Speedo are discontinuing the black Lycra swimsuits, so we will not be able to supply these once the current stock has run out. We will still have the Aquablade suits and trunks. If you want these training suits, get your order in quickly.
