Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
Coachable, determined, resilient, committed, team-player.
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
The best individual memory of my athletic career is being ranked outside the top 10 going into English Nationals for the 50m freestyle and achieving a pb in the final as well as the 100m freestyle to come home with 2 silver medals.
My best team memory is when my team were coming second in the very last relay at round 3 of the National Arena League and I swam the anchor leg bringing my team home in first, smashing my pb in the process and gaining maximum team points.
Goals:
To win a gold medal at National level and to qualify for the British Olympic Trials in 2024. I want to continue to improve as an individual swimmer to enable me to contribute as much as possible to team performance.
Anything else we should know?
Due to my love of swimming from an early age, I felt I wanted to give something back to the sport so have qualified as a level 1 Swim Teacher and am studying to take my level 2 in the near future.
