Alex Smith is having a fantastic season this year. His record win at the Southern Championships last week put him
in the history books as the fastest ever 11-year old to win the ‘Speedo’ trophy at the Riverside Aqua Centre. His time of 42.6 seconds over this
distance makes him a very likely choice for the international championship heats later this month. His parents – Bob and Beth Smith are
delighted at his success and are looking forward to seeing him in the national squad soon. ‘He has worked hard to deserve his place in the team’,
says his proud Dad. Alex said that he plans to put a Michael Phelps and eat nothing but carbs for breakfast which will supply him with the energy
he needs to practice. Alex and said his coach agrees as well and he plans to start tomorrow.
