Alex is a swimmer from the United Kingdom, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 8 seasons, 10 years, 2 countries and 13 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2011 in Harrow, where he raced the 200 breaststroke in 4:34.80.
His signature event is the 100 breaststroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 50 breaststroke and 50 freestyle. Breaststroke is where his specialisation lies (10 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (12 meets and 21 recorded swims spread across 4 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 100 breaststroke stands at 1:30.67, set in short course (25 m) at Oil City vs Titusville.
After a 2-year break between 2015 and 2017, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2017. 2012 is the busiest season on record, with 16 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (the United States and Switzerland), most often in the United States (10 meets).
Those meets span 8 different venues (Geneva, Harrow, Franklin Ymca and Lake Orion Natatoriu…). He has raced for Adams High School (MI), Oil City High School and Ealing.
Latest competition: Oil City vs Titusville in Titusville, on February 3, 2020, with 2 swims: 1:30.67 in the 100 breaststroke and 2:40.93 in the 200 freestyle, all in short course (25 m) and 5 PB improvements. He closes this record with 14 current event personal bests and 43 all-time PB improvements, across 46 verified official swims in competitions governed by Aquatics GB.
