Ambition:

To compete at the 2020 Olympics Games in Tokyo. (sport.wales, 09 Aug 2020)

Philosophy:

"Everyone says training is 90% physical and 10% mental and vice-versa in a competition; it's 90% mental and 10% physical, and that is 100% the case with me. Every time I go into a competition that I feel in control I can dominate, any time that I feel I get threatened I buckle. That is something I am ashamed to say about myself but it's something I have got to overcome." (dai-sport.com, 27 Jul 2019)

FUTURE PLANS
He started open water swimming in the Swansea Bay area of Wales during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 because his local pool was closed. He enjoyed it so much that he has considered switching from competitive pool swimming to open water swimming. "It makes you appreciate how beautiful the landscape and the seas are here in Wales. We're very lucky and it can be inspiring. The last few months have opened my eyes a little bit. Maybe after I've swum at the Olympics in the pool, I will venture into open water swimming. David Davies did that, he was Welsh, and so if he can do it, I can do it. [British swimmer] Jazz Carlin did the same. So, it's something I could well go for one day." (sport.wales, 09 Aug 2020)
