“I started swimming when I was 3 years old and after a lot of hard work, I am now where I am today. I have had many experiences at swimming and not all of them have turned out as expected but they have allowed me to grow as a person, and as a swimmer.

I enjoy swimming because when I swim I forget about all my troubles and worries and it makes me happy inside.

I am currently the second fastest 100m backstroke swimmer in Middlesex  and about 20th in London but I’m always willing to improve. I work very hard so hopefully one day I will make it to the Olympics.”
