Press Release Summary = Esporta Sheffield Junior Swimming success

Press Release Body = Jamie Reeves, a name familiar to most of us as the one-time
World's Strongest Man, has bagged another award for the family. Only this time it's
not for his strongman antics, it's his daughter Issey, who managed to swim 50 metres
at the age of just two, without any form of flotation aid.

Issey attends the Otter Tots Swimming School at Esporta Sheffield, where she has
been enjoying the pool since a baby, and took to swimming like a fish from day one!

Victoria Kennedy, swim tutor at Esporta Sheffield, said: \"Issey has amazing strength
and a strong mental attitude and really enjoys her swimming. This is certainly the
first we have heard of anyone locally swimming so far at such a young age, and we're
sure it must put Issey in a pretty elite band of 2-year old swimmers nationally, if
not internationally!"

Esporta Sheffield member Jamie Reeves, said "Me and my wife Colette are naturally
very proud of Issey. We try and encourage her as much as we can but like all parents
we're also keen not to push her in to anything she doesn't want to do. She has
unbelievable natural talent at swimming. Wherever we go, everybody always comments
they have never seen anything like it. I'd like to think I had something to do with
her success at swimming, but in reality she's a little individual and she's done it
all by herself."

Esporta is the only Body Training Systems platinum club in Sheffield. The club's
facilities include a 25m heated crystal clear swimming pool with spa facilities;
fully air-conditioned studio and gym which conduct 90 classes a week in a variety of
