When you're young, you don't really know quite what you're aiming at. You're very impulsive and acting on impulse, which is very important and valuable. But you're kind of swimming in a blind sea. When you get older, you have more of a sense of direction. ↗

I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself. ↗

I have big friends who won't go swimming because they're too embarrassed about it. I feel that's such a shame, because actually people should be encouraging fat people who are exercising to do it, not pointing and laughing. ↗

I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking. ↗

Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing. ↗
