    This extended Olympic Cycle has been a tough one, but I’m still battling through the highs and lows with a big smile on my face. The UK government rules and restrictions meant that British Swimming decided to change the entry conditions of the British Olympic Trials (British Championships)… which meant I was no longer allowed to compete (for the first time in over 12 years!). As I chase the chance to compete and earn my spot on the Olympic team this Summer, this video includes a Q&A (from my Instagram) where I answer some of your questions, my first long course training session in my home pool and my first (& only) competition I raced in during COVID-19!
