At the end of April, she competed at the South East Regionals Championships where she won the bronze medal in the 50m Butterfly. Following on from this she was invited to compete at the English Nationals in Sheffield in August where she again won the bronze medal in the 50M Butterfly.

She has subsequently been selected to represent Kent in the National County Teams Competition in October in Sheffield.

I was very excited and nervous to compete at Nationals in August and I can't believe I won a medal. I was really proud to be selected to represent Kent in the National County Competition in October, it doesn't quite feel real yet!
