Profile
I decided to start swimming competitively after my cousin joined a club and talked about how much fun it was. I asked to join and loved it from the first session.
At the time I was 9 years old, but to tell you the truth I have been swimming since I was 6 months old, even if it was just at 'aqua baby' sessions.
I am very fond of many of the different aspects connected with swimming. I am a very competitive person, so am happiest when competing.
Meeting new people is another great aspect of the sport, and through swimming I have made lots of friends.
Ambition
I have already achieved one of my ambitions in swimming for Wales in the Youth Commonwealth Games, but like everybody who is involved in any sort of sport, I have my eyes (and heart) set on London 2012.
I understand completely the effort and work that's needed to reach such heights, but I have determination as well. I'm confident that if I remain focussed and undertake the preparations needed, I'll reach my ultimate goal.
