We are really chuffed to announce that we are now supporting local swimmer, Daniel Sliwinski, as he attempts to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Daniel trains locally at Preston Swimming Club. Preston-born Daniel Sliwinski has been swimming since the age of six. At 18, he won three gold medals at the World Youth Championships in Mexico, becoming the fastest 18 year old in water, in the world. In 2009 he broke the Open British 100 metres breaststroke record, making him the fastest British male ever over this distance. In 2010, Daniel won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi as part of the medley relay team.

“I am really grateful to Bowker and MINI for their support,” said Daniel. “It’s tough trying to qualify for an Olympic place and it’s a big help knowing that they are behind me, helping to raise funds and awareness. It’s also fantastic having a brand new car from now until the end of the 2012 Games. There’s a lot of travelling to heats, competitions and promotional events so it’s great being able to arrive there in style.”

Tom Fox, Dealer Principal at Bowker, said: “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get really involved with the 2012 Games. Our staff and customers are keen to support London 2012 so we’re really happy to be backing Daniel.”
