Athletic Achievements
I have enjoyed challenging my body in numerous sports, but my main career was in swimming. I had a split career - with a 10 year gap in the middle. Meaning I understand what it is like to retire (twice!) from high-performance sport, and also allowed me to have a greater appreciation for the sport during my second stint back in the water. See below for my achievements during my sporting career.
