JAZZ Carlin’s preparations for the Olympic Games are in full swing as she completes the final details both in and out of the pool.
The Swindon swimmer, who now lives in Bradford on Avon, was in action on Saturday as she picked up a gold medal at the Open De France in the 800m freestyle.
The 24-year-old clocked a time of 8 minutes 24.59 seconds as she held off a challenge from Slovenia’s Anja Klinar yesterday.

The Tigersharks swimmer was back in the pool just five minutes later for the 200m freestyle where she came fourth with a time of 1:59.44, missing out on the podium by just four tenths of a second.
Carlin is back in action this evening as she goes in the final of the 400m freestyle.
