It was a tough competition for Jaedon as he competed with the best swimmers in that part of the world and had to adjust to the hot weather conditions and time zones.

However, Jaedon showed tremendous strength of character and determination by swimming a personal best time on the breast stroke leg of  the 4x100m Medley to help team Jamaica 13-14 year old boys to secure a 3^rd place finish and a bronze medal!

Jaedon will now return to the UK to focus on his preparation for the English National Championships in August.
