I am so excited to be writing about aquatics in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games for HeraldScotland and The Evening Times. It will give me the chance to learn about the different things that swimming and diving entail and share these lessons, experiences and thoughts of the people involved with readers. I am currently studying practical journalism at Glasgow Clyde College while working for an online fashion magazine and writing my own blog and I can't wait to start writing about something new.

Graham Wardell has been coaching swimmers for the past 30 years and now he has been given the chance to coach the Scottish elite swim team for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. I was lucky enough to catch up with Graham during swimming practice at Tollcross International Swimming Pool a few weeks ago where he told me about his plans for the swim team and the work everyone has had to be putting in over the past few weeks.
