Recovered, she plunged into full training but tied for fifth place in the 110 yards freestyle final at the national trials and failed to make the England team for the Empire Games.

Now she is hoping to do well enough in the Midland Championships at Derby and the National Championships at Blackpool in August to win back her place in the National team for the European Ganks in Budapest and perhaps,
