BLAKE Wilson has dived into training with the Olympics in mind!
Swimming lessons for the past three years at Ivy Bank swimming school in Prestwich have paid off for the talented 10-year-old and he has been selected to join the Junior Olympic Starter Group at Oldham. Blake, pictured in the pool, loves to swim and with rigorous training the hope is that he may one day represent his country.
His proud mum Dawn said: "The Olympic starter group is for young swimmers who show real potential and who are expected to develop with extra training."
Dawn added: "Blake has certainly progressed since starting at Ivy Bank and with this news he is in his element. He loves swimming. It would be great if he could be chosen for the Olympics one day."
