This prestigious programme is the first step on Swim England's National Development Pathway and is designed to support and nurture talented young swimmers as they progress through the sport.
As part of the programme, swimmers take part in a series of educational sessions and training camps. Georgia attended her first full training day in Coventry on 24 October, gaining valuable experience and learning alongside other promising swimmers from across the country.
This selection is a fantastic recognition of Georgia's potential, and we look forward to following her progress throughout the programme.
