Beth Fitzsimmons' Blog (age 14)
I started swimming lessons at Hartham when I was three years old.  As the lessons progressed I gradually became more confident in water and I started to learn the basic strokes. I was really enjoying my swimming lessons and so when I was nine I joined Hertford Swimming Club as I wanted to compete against other swimmers. I continued my swimming lessons as I still found these very useful. My first competitive race for Hertford SC was 25 metres freestyle when I was 9 Years old. My time was 22.72 seconds and I was very proud of this!  I currently train four or five times a week with Hertford SC with three of these sessions being at Hartham Leisure Centre.
My current 100 metres front crawl time is 1.06.82 minutes. I have qualified to compete in the Hertfordshire Country Championships for the past 4 Years and this year was my most successful. I competed in six events and won a Gold medal in the 14 year old 1500m freestyle event with a time of 19.37.06 minutes- County Champion!!, this was a 1 minute improvement on my Personal Best. My target for this year is to obtain a qualifying time for the Regional Championships which I know will mean a lot of very hard training, but I will try my best.
I hope the gym session kindly provided by Everyone Active will give me the extra land based training needed to achieve my goals.

I first started swimming at the age of 2 when I jump into a pool and had to be saved by my uncle. I started having lessons after this, I never really liked having my armbands taken off- if I did I would throw a paddy and cry. By the age of three I could swim strongly without armbands. I continued with lesson at the school pool before starting at SLM to improve my strokes. I Decided to join Hertford swimming club at the age of seven. In my first gala I realised I loved the competitive side of swimming. At the age of nine for the first time I went to counties for swimming and reached the final in various events mainly butterfly. In 2008 and 2009 I reached the East Region Championships in three events.
This year at counties I won the 200m butterfly and am now the County Champion. I hope to be back at the Regional Championships next year with this additional training opportunity being provided by Every One Active - thank you Steve Cox.  

Ben Ransome's Blog (age 14)
I began swimming when I was six months old at Hartham- my parents tacking me every Sunday morning. Before my 4th birthday I swam my first length and joined Hertford swimming club on my 5th birthday. I had to wait until I was 7 for my first race- 1 width free where I broke my first or 25 Club Championship records I currently hold.
Right from an early age I trained with older swimmers and in 2008 when I was ten, a selected group of from Hertford travelled to ‘Club La Santa’ in Lanzarote. I was the youngest swimmer and we trained for 4 hours a day. By the end of the trip we had swam a staggering 50,000m or 31 miles!! Later that year and again in 2009, I qualified for five events at the East Regional Championships.
In January 2012 I completed a full house of 18 junior records just before my 14th birthday- beating the last two a week before my birthday.
In March I competed at the Hertfordshire County Championships. Although the competition was tough I achieved 3 silvers, personal bests in every event, 8 senior club records, 6 Regional Qualifying Times where I’ll compete at Norwich in June and overall in the 14 year old age group I came 8th.
Throughout my swimming I’ve had lots of highs and lows but I kept going, it’s not how well you swim on a good day but how well you swim on a bad day that keeps you focused and I love it!! And here I am now -Steve Cox arranging Everyone Active to sponsor me!!! After swimming at this years Regions, my sight will be set on achieving a National Qualifying time in any of my favoured events- either free or breaststroke which will be tough- under 25 seconds for 50m free!- currently I swim just over 27 seconds, but with work in the gym it might enable me to achieve my goal.
