Trent College Swimmers Learn from the Best

A former Trent College student and International swimmer has returned to the College to share her skills with younger students.

Emma Bird, 18, left Trent College this summer after completing her A Level studies. She is now taking two years out of education to pursue her swimming career, before progressing to University. Emma has an illustrious track record; representing Great Britain at Junior, Youth and Senior Level, and she has been selected to swim for the GB Senior Team at the European Short Course Championships in Turkey this December. Her travels this year will also take her to Dubai to participate in a training camp, and to Holland with England Talent Development to prepare for the Commonwealth Trials in 2010.

Emma took time out from her training this week to return to Trent College in Long Eaton and impart her knowledge to Year 7 students. She encouraged the students with her top tips for perfecting her predominant stroke, the breast stroke, and was very impressed with what she saw!
