Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
Dedicated, determined, enthusiastic, adaptable, focused.
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
One of my best memories would have to be winning gold in the 100m breaststroke at my first ever English nationals in 2019, I went into this competition with no expectation of even making a final so to come out with 3 medals was a really great experience and one I won’t forget.
Goals:
My goal would be to compete at an international level and become the best swimmer I possibly can.
Anything else we should know?
I was selected to be one of the senior club captains for the 22/23 season. I have really enjoyed this so far as I have helped support the younger swimmers at their very first galas and organised team events. Over the last few months I have spent a few hours a week as a volunteer assisting the coaches at my club. I have worked with the younger squads gaining valuable experience of working in a sporting environment and learning ways to feedback on swimmers technique and encouraging them to fulfil their potential.
