In the Pool
Greatest achievement to date: Winning silver in the 100m Freestyle in Beijing because it made me feel as if the training and hard work had paid off.
Aspiration: To be the best that I can be
Out of the Pool
One thing you can’t live without: Family
Tip for the top: Train hard, never give in to any pain it's always worth it in the end
Life after swimming? Go to university and continue in other sports
Favourites
Band/Music: Bit of everything.
