Emma Wicks recently recorded the perfect start to her swimming year at the City of Derby designated meet in Sheffield last weekend.
In what was the first event of the year, Emma put in a tremendous performance to take the 'top girl' award in the under-15 age group.
Despite swimming in the age group above, Emma finished 14 points ahead of her closest rivals after victories in the 200m freestyle and butterfly, silver medals in the 100m freestyle and butterfly plus final places in the backstroke and breaststroke events.
But Emma's hectic schedule is set to continue when she jets off to the Gold Coast of Australia for a training camp in two weeks time.
Supported by British Swimming and the Hampshire Centre of Excellence, Emma will train at the British Swimming's Offshore Training Centre at the impressive Southport School.
She will be part of a seven-man squad, including GB swimmer Katy Sexton, who will be preparing for the GB nationals. And with the World Championship trials coming up in March, Emma will be hoping to make 2003 a year to remember.
