Peter Cunningham

SWIMMING: PETER Cunningham has set out on a path to potential glory.

The Cardinal Langley pupil (16), who lives in Chadderton, is taking part in the 2012 International Sports Federation of Catholic Schools Games in Malta over the next few days.

Cunningham swims for Oldham Seals and has managed to hit four sets of qualifying marks in order to take part in an event featuring Catholic schools from 14 European countries, plus the United States and Brazil.

The teenager also trains with the City of Manchester Aquatics team and was nominated by his school’s PE department at Cardinal Langley RC, Middleton. Cunningham trains more than 20 hours a week, with two early-morning starts at 5am.
