"For as long as I can remember, I have had an obsession with swimming. As a five-year-old, I told my school teacher that my ambition was to swim one length of butterfly. There was no denying that I loved the water, so I continued to pester my mother to teach me butterfly. Being able to learn off mum, has contributed to why I love the sport so much."
