Best Swimming Experience:

Representing Great Britain at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney
because of the atmosphere in the pool was amazing and to swim
against Ian Thorpe was a great experience.

Favourite Training Camp Location:

The Gold Coast, Australia. I have been lucky enough to travel to
Australia 4 times, so have got to know the Gold Coast quite well
and every time I visit it I love being so close to the ocean and
spending the time off from training on the beach relaxing and
trying to surf.

Favourite Swimmer:

Ian Thorpe
