FURTHER STUDIES AND FUTURE PLANS
After graduating from the University of Plymouth in England in 2019 he went on to study a course in event management. "I think if I didn't swim I'd be studying or pursuing a career in the creative industry, doing something like graphic design and marketing since I've always loved photography and then carried on to study it at A-Level. I'm currently studying event management as well so I've always thought about going into that industry. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what I want to do outside of swimming because I'm just taking things one at a time and giving my full focus to sport. There was even a point in my teens when I was so determined to become a commercial or air force pilot but that would have meant I would have to have dropped swimming completely."
