What a start to 2026! 🚀

The last two months have been a complete whirlwind. From local County Championships to the elite stage of Aquatics GB, I have been poolside (and underwater!) capturing the incredible breadth of UK swimming.

There’s something so special about seeing the same grit in a young athlete’s first race as you do in a multi-time Olympian.
Whether it’s masters swimmers staying dedicated for decades or high-level athletes chasing world medals, there is a constant element: the energy to get in the pool!

Some of my Recent Highlights:
🏆 Arena League Finals | Birmingham
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Edinburgh International Meet
📸 A few Underwater photo sessions in-between
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Welsh Nationals | Swansea
🇬🇧 Aquatics GB | London
🏊‍♂️ Swim England South West Regionals | Millfield
And here is a selection of 10 images captured throughout!

Coming from a coaching and teaching background, being able to embrace and capture swimming at every level is something that feels like a true full-circle moment for me.
It’s more than just photography; it’s about witnessing and documenting the entire journey: from the first nervous races to the elite podiums.
I love the thought that someday, a swimmer after an international achievement will be able to look back at images from where it all started!

Having been on both sides of the pool deck, documenting this sport from every possible angle is a mission that truly defines my work.

Let’s keep diving in! 🏊🏼‍♂️

Late to the party with my highlights from the Aquatics GB Championships in London, but as they say: better late than never! 📸

I loved the buzz of the action, but I was even more drawn to the raw emotions on display.
The stakes were incredibly high, and while there was pure joy for some, there was heartbreak for others. That’s the reality of high-level sport, so many contenders, but only three spots on the podium.

Here are a few of my favourite frames from the week of racing. 🏊‍♂️✨

A special episode of "Road to the games" at the British champs 2026 in London.

As racing started morning for Dan, dive into his 100 Freestyle race and how it went for him qualifying for the B final later this afternoon!

Good luck Dan 💪

Episode 4 of "Road to the Games" is here! 🏊‍♂️

Sharing a look at Dan’s grind from Monday to Saturday: 8 sessions in the pool and 3 in the gym to reach this level.

As we head into the British Champs coming Tuesday in London, we’re diving into what it actually takes to swim at this standard.

Dan will kick things off in a week time on Thursday next with his 100m Freestyle race in the heats!

Success at this level is about mastering pace and technique while pushing through heavy fatigue. It’s the point where gym-built strength, agility, and coordination all come together.
It takes total focus to ensure everything clicks the moment the competition pressure hits. ⚡️

Make sure to watch the live stream to see him racing!

What an incredible 4 days in Swansea for the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 National Championships!

From the excitement of the younger swimmers’ first taste of nationals to the seasoned athletes preping for the Aquatics GB Champs in London, the energy was unmatched. 🏊‍♂️✨

Here is a glimpse of the action we captured poolside.
