What is your biggest acheivement so far in swimming? Going to the nationals in 2002, and also being broze medallist in the 200m breast stroke at the north west regionals 2 years running.
What is your biggest ambition for your swimming career?.. How good do you want to be?! Its got to be to go back to nationals once more, after all the hard work and starting swimming again after having Glandular fever i think i really deserve it!
Who are your swimming idols? Hmmmm liesel jones is amazing..i cant believe she can go that fast! Also i have to say Steve Parry having trained with him at Stockport..he was really inspirational! He even bought me some shampoo :)
Do you have any lucky routines/mascotts you use at competitions? No..im not really lucky at galas haha! Kidding - i normally do the same mobility programme before each race, and i have a superstitious thing about racing costumes, i.e. if i did a really good time in a race then i HAVE to wear the same costume the next time that i swim it!
What do you enjoy most about swimming? The hard work..i love getting a massive aerobic and endurance set. I also love the feeling of success when you have had an amazing swim or training session!Euphoria!
