Biography
From an early age, I have spent my summers living on the beach, and that’s where I learnt to swim. I started swimming competitively in the pool at the age of 7. I began surf lifesaving when I was 14 and was particularly interested in the surf swim. After spending one summer swimming alongside a channel swimmer I decided to begin long distance open water events. I started swim teaching in 2008 and beach lifeguarding from 2010. I train as an IRB driver (power boat rescue in surf) during the summer and volunteer at lifesaving events. I have a BSc in Health and Performance Science which involved a variety of coaching modules in strength and conditioning and ties in aspects of sports psychology, nutrition and physiology.
