| How I got started?: |
I grew up in a sport loving family, my dad being a rugby player, brother being a swimmer and my mum being the biggest supporter. I always wanted to be like my brother if not beat him, and swimming was perfect for me being a non-weight bearing sport that allowed me to be the same as everyone else when I was in the water. |
