Hi, I am Jacob Glanville and I am your boys
senior club captain.
I’m 16 years old, go to St Bart’s School and
am in year 12, lower sixth form. I have been swimming at
Newbury since I was 11 (I started late!) and I’m currently
in the A squad.
My hobbies besides swimming are art and
drawing, watching films and using my computer. I’m studying
for English Lit, Art, Biology and History A levels at
school.
My favourite strokes are Front crawl and Fly
and I enjoy breast stroke but I absolutely hate backstroke.
My best stroke is also my favourite; Freestyle, I’m more of
a sprinter than a long distance swimmer, distance is my
weakness.
I have taken part in counties four times so
far, and I have qualified for the Regional’s (districts) in
the last three years. I am aiming to qualify for the
Nationals this season. I have been chosen for the National
League (Speedo as was) team for the last 3 years and I swim
at many meets with the club.
I would like to encourage and support
my club mates in achieving your own success and goals and
would be happy to provide help and advice.
Thanks for voting for me.
Jacob
