Personal bests galore, two national times

The 14-year-old competed in the NSW Senior State Age Championships at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre earlier this month.

Not only did he swim personal bests in all four of his events, the 50m and 100m freestyle and the 100m and 200m backstroke, he made national times for the freestyle races.

Next up for Jackson will be the Australian Age Swimming Championships in April on the Gold Coast.

Jackson's mother Dani Schultz was extremely proud of her son's efforts and she said hard work paid off.

"He's been swimming competitively for five years," Ms Schultz said.

"He's been aiming to get a national time for a long time, but you have to be 14 to go to nationals.

"To get it when he turned 14 was fantastic."

Emily Weston was also set to take part in the Championships, but was forced to withdraw due to a back injury.

Both Emily and Jackson have attended multiple state level swimming competitions with their school and also at a NSW representative level.
