My job isn't to create history; it's to go out there and perform at my best.

No one likes to get beaten, even if it is to your best friend.

For me, it's just as important to eat healthy as it is to go out and eat fish and chips with my friends because socialising, and being able to socialise, is a huge part of your general wellbeing.

The best swimmers are the ones that almost don't try the most... It's just about relaxing and enjoying it.

My job is to give 100 per cent so that I can walk away completely satisfied with the race I put together irrespective of placings.

It's terrible, I know, but I will admit I was a really lazy kid. It was Bronte who would wake me up in the morning, go to training early, and take in some tips from the older training group. I would be there grumbling and complaining. After she began to reap the rewards of her labour, it definitely kindled a fire.
