Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
One of the best memories I have as an athlete is racing against some of the UK’s best freestylers at the Scottish Short Course Nationals. I loved trying to push myself to stay with them through the races as they were swimmers I was looking up to. Also, having Chris Cook as my mentor and friend over the last two years has helped me a lot in order to improve my mental game.
Goals:
I am aiming to compete at the highest level that I possibly can and to race in the Olympic Games!
Anything else we should know?
