13th May 2025

The latest athlete to sign to the growing number of British swimmers working with arena UK is 17 year old Jacob Mills. The Repton School swimmer is one of the brightest sprint hopes on the GB scene today.

Jacob won bronze as part of the mens 4×100 FS team  at the European Juniors in 2024 and will be aiming to improve on that this year. Having recently being named to the Youth Performance National Squad as well as the Podium Potential Squad it will be a busy time for Jacob and Solo Sports/arena UK are delighted to be supporting him on his journey.

We’re looking forward to working with Jacob.
