The Ramsey youngster has been helped by Isle of Man swimming coach Lee Holland and will now join a programme aiming for success at the next Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.
There are three levels in all - podium, podium potential and then the academy with seventeen other swimmers alongside Ben Grainger.
