GENERAL INFORMATION
	Favourite event: It changes for each competition! Finest ever performance/Why: Commonwealth Games 2006 in Melbourne. In the 400m I,M, I won gold and broke the British Record.

Life after swimming: No idea. A long happy career if whatever I do. Music: Not really into music, I prefer books, like a Grisham novel If I wasn’t a swimmer I would be a: I would be at university looking forward to a career in business. Football, Cricket or Rugby: Rugby. It’s more exciting. I enjoy watching Scotland. Describe yourself in three words: Cool, calm and collected Most prized possession: I don’t really have any. Material things don’t really matter to me. Biggest influence on career: Ian Black, my old headmaster and my Dad. Sporting relations: My Dad represented Scotland in Water Skiing.
