At last! Competition in the UK. And marathon swimmer Alice Dearing was back in the pool for the first time in 11 months.

Alice normally competes in open water - but grabbed this opportunity as British Swimming put on a competitive meeting in Manchester.

She talks about how she loved the event and describes how it worked....and hopefully paves the way for more competitions and a return to recreational pools being opened.

Thanks for listening. You can find Alice on social media @alicedearingx
