Back in my mind, I never, ever wanted to give up swimming; it was something that I would carry on with.

Swimming is my passion and something that I love.

My parents gave me a boxer puppy as a present. I have wanted a dog for years and must first give her attention in the morning.

I think I've achieved everything I wanted to.

I never thought of being disadvantaged.

It's been a dream for me since I was six years old to go to the Olympic Games and to finally have that dream realised is something massive for me.
