Alex Mackay
Nothing Toulouse in French Open for Alex
SWIM star Alex Mackay will be hoping to make a splash this summer after being selected to represent Great Britain in the French Open Water Cup. The 16-year-old speedster, who trains with Camden Swiss Cottage Swimming Club, will travel to Toulouse in June after catching the eye in his 1500m event at the recent British Olympic trials.
Team-mate Felix Samuels also performed well at the trials, setting a new British Age Group record in the 50m Freestyle.
Camden Swiss Cottage coach Dave Hobbs said: “We are delighted as well as being very excited by this opportunity.”
