British Down Syndrome Swimming Championships 2025
Adam, representing Great Britain and proudly swimming for Bromsgrove Swimming Club, shone brilliantly at the Down Syndrome Championships. He delivered an outstanding performance, achieving personal bests in all four strokes and astonishing spectators by shaving an incredible 10 seconds off his 50m backstroke time. His hard work and determination paid off as he claimed a well-deserved gold in the 25m Butterfly and a silver in the 25m Breaststroke. An exceptional achievement and a moment to be truly proud of.
