Fresh off of smashing a 22-year-old record at the just-concluded Guyana Teachers Union National Schools Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field championships, Leon Seaton has his eyes on accomplishing bigger things.

To put it mildly Seaton wants to be great.

Seaton’s motivation to achieve greatness in swimming is fueled by his love and passion for the water and how it makes him feel.

It would appear that the choice of swimming over karate was the right one for the youngster.

In an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sports, the Silver Sharks’ Club 11-12 swimmer has his eyes, mind and heart set on achieving great things in the foreseeable future.
