He competes wearing a lucky pair of boxer shorts under his swim shorts. "I had them on when I hit my first international qualification time, and I don't know what it is, but I've had it in my head that they'll always be there when I go to competitions and I've always just done it. We raced in Belfast [Northern Ireland] at the Dave McCullough Meet and I had my lucky boxers on, and there was a boy in the lane next to me who tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'You forgot to take your boxers off'. I said, 'What are you talking about?' And it completely put him off his race because he was too worried about my boxers." (Scottish Swimming YouTube channel, 15 May 2020)
