I have a passion for swimming I am at national level and I am good enough to represent my country I train daily and I am dedicatedswim in my targetted olympics 2016 in Rio but I would like to think that I would swim in the 2014 commonwealth games in Glasgow I started to swim as my parents wanted me to learn for safty reasons but as I was born with a bowel condition and later my parents discovered I not only had dyslexia and scotopic sensitivity syndrome i also had Asthma the odds were stacked against me being good at anything Mum and Dad believed in me and although they never ever forced me to swim I wanted to as it made me feel good at my best like I was equal with every one so i carried on and got really good at it and Mum and Dad supported me and i became the best that I could be by training every day reaching National level and to be in Europe next.
