A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I've been swimming as long as I can remember and it's always been a family affair. My mum and dad taught me to be confident in the water when I was just 5 years old. I guess I took to it like a fish to water and over 20 years later I'm still in love with the sport.

My dad used to be an international swimmer and competed at the 1984 Olympic Games in LA, so the love and drive to be a successful swimmer runs in my blood. My sister also swam competitively at national level and was county champ, so weekends were spent as a family by a swimming pool.

I started off a backstroke swimmer and with that came my first national age group medal at the age of 11 in the 200. I won a total of 7 Gold medals at national age groups in a variety of events. This was where my competitive attitude and drive to become an Olympic swimmer started.

Since then, I have come a long way winning many international medals as a junior and a senior.

Some of my key achievements are listed below:

I am also a world finalist, and have won several medals over the years at European Short Course Championships in both medley and freestyle events.

From my success over the years I've had the opportunity to train with different programmes, work with different high-level coaches and in doing so I have learnt lots about the sport I love along the way. Now it's my time to give back and share my love and passion for the sport through Willmott Swim Skills.
