26^th July - 2^nd August 2009 (Rome - Foro Italico)

Day 5 - Thursday 30^th July : It was another great day of racing from the British Swimming team with the Women's 4 x 200m Freestyle relay picking up a medal.

Day 3 - Tuesday 28^th July : In the morning I went down to the small hotel pool and had a loosen off swim. Nothing much. This was just to feel good in the water again. Later that night I had the final of the 100m Backstroke.

Day 2 - Monday 27^th July : Today were the heats of the 100m Backstroke. I felt pretty good, maybe a little tired from racing in the 4 x 100 Freestyle relay last night but I was really looking forward to getting stuck into the Backstroke.

26^th July - 2^nd August 2009 (Rome - Foro Italico)

Day 1 - Sunday 26^th July : It was really nice to start the meet off with something a bit different, and what better way to do it than with a team event! The 4 x 100 Freestyle relay is something I have never been a part of before, let alone at a major meet. So to do it here was an added bonus.

23^rd - 25^th July 2009 (Rome)

We flew into Rome on Wednesday 22^nd for the final few days of preparation before the World Championships officially start on Sunday. When we arrived we all went down to the small hotel pool for a loosen off swim. I didn't do a lot, but felt better for getting in the water.
