A fighting chanceLeeds-born Nicola hopes for Olympic glory

Nicola Adams is Britain’s most successful female boxer. She’s a strongmedal hope for London 2012 in the flyweight class as her

sport makes its Olympic debut.

Nicola started boxing after enjoying boxercise classes withher mum at a Leeds gym. She won her first bout aged just13 and hasn’t looked back! Now 29 she’s one of the world'smost impressive boxing talents. She even makes use ofswitch-hitting, shifting from fighting in orthodox stance tosouthpaw – a technique only the best can master.

A world silver medalist in 2008 and 2010; Nicola won herfirst major tournament in June 2011, securing gold at theEuropean Union championships in Poland. Then inOctober 2011 she took gold at the Europeanchampionships, putting her in pole position for next year’s

Olympic qualifier.

Let’s hope the former Burmantofts ABC star continues her golden streak at London 2012.

It’s time to dig out your swimmingcostume as we join forces withBritish Swimming and the BBC tobring the Big Splash to Leeds.

Billed as the world’s largestcelebration of swimming, the BigSplash aims to get more people totake the plunge and get in thepool. In Leeds, we’re giving all ourfamily swimsessions a Big Splashmakeover.

Just in case you need moremotivation to head to your localpool with the family, we’ve alsointroduced the Big Splash familyreward card. Use it to get everyfifth family swim for free. Themore you visit, the more freesessions you’ll enjoy.

Just ask for a Big Splash familyreward card at reception next timeyou visit your local pool. Get yourcard stamped each time youattend a family swim session andon your fifth visit your swim will beabsolutely free.
