Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:

At the British Swimming Summer Nationals 2024, being in marshalling for my 200m Fly. For the first time, I was able to see how far my training had taken me during the season and the outcome of my efforts. It was a relief to finally be there after a difficult training cycle into the event, having had to deal with illness and injury only 3-4 weeks out. 

Another great moment was at a small team gala. Rather than my swims being about the times I swam, the focus was on getting points for my team. It was the most enjoyable a gala had been for me with a lot of cheering, dressing up and team spirit!

Goals:

To continue my swimming journey and see how far I can progress, taking every opportunity that presents itself. 

Anything else we should know? 

I volunteer at my club as a coach with entry level competitive swimmers. I am also a qualified timekeeper and volunteer for my club at low level galas. I love all aspects of swimming, but nothing can beat the feeling of racing. I deal well under pressure at high-level meets. I adore being part of a team and believe it brings out the best in me.
