Wenlock and Mandeville go Swimming - Pic

Yep, it's Wenlock and Mandeville, the London 2012 mascots!

Wenlock says: "I love sport (especially the Olympic ones) and I want to be as good at them as I can. I also love making friends who show me exciting new things to try and help me achieve my personal best. If they can make me laugh along the way... even better!"

Mandeville says: "I love finding out about people, what makes us all different and also what links us together.  I'm also always ready for action. With so many people to meet and challenges to try there's no time for anything else!"

    I live in Much Wenlock and Wenlock is named after a man called William Penny Brookes who started a sort of Olympic games here a long time ago. We still have our own olympic games in Much Wenlock and I won a medal for running.

    The modern Olympics were founded in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, in 1894, and the Paralympics in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire, in 1948.
