'I want to break the world record'
A Northampton swimmer is part of Team England Futures ahead of Commonwealth Games. Harvey Freeman, 18, competes for Northampton Swimming Club and is closing the gap between himself and Team England inspiration James Wilby.
"If the medals come, brilliant. When you're at something where you've got James Wilby and Greg Butler and really good 200 breaststrokers, I'm just going in there to swim as fast as I can and if I come out with a medal that's amazing. "I want to break the world record in the 200m breaststroke," added Freeman, who has been selected to be part of the Team England Futures programme with Commonwealth Games England and SportsAid.
Freeman has an immediate chance to lay down a marker at his second European Junior Championships in Bucharest next week. "In some aspects, I wasn't happy with the performances. They were still PBs but they just weren't big enough. "We all watched it in one room in the hotel on TV, it was a very fun and good atmosphere. I learnt not to put too much pressure on myself, to stay relaxed and stay calm.
