Talented Beverley swimmer heads to the British Championships this week, 5 – 10 April, hoping for Olympic qualifying times. Kieran Grant, age 17, from Beverley Barracudas swimming club has qualified in 4 events and hopes this will open the doors to Paris, in 2024.
With typical modesty, Kieran said he has been training hard and thanks to his coaches at Beverley Barracudas, Wayne Smith and Paul Hartley, for helping him to pursue his dream.
Kieran commented that he is trying to contain his excitement but knows that this could be the vital next step towards the Olympics.
Kieran has qualified in the 100m butterfly, 100m freestyle, 200m backstroke and 50m freestyle events. These are based on times that he has clocked at recent events locally.
He is a role model for the younger swimmers in the Beverley club, not only benchmarking excellence in the pool but also setting the standard of dedication, determination and self-discipline very high.
Ponds Forge International Sports Centre will play host to the British Swimming Championships from 5 – 10 April 2022 – British Swimming’s flagship domestic meet – ahead of a packed international summer for the sport.
The six-day meet is also envisaged to help team selections for the remaining senior and junior international meets in 2022, with British and Home Nation athletes targeting big performances to get them on teams for the world stage.
