GENERAL INFORMATION
 


Favourite event: I like them both (50 & 100 breaststroke)! If I could swim any event though it would be the 50Fr, unfortunately my freestyle is not the best!

Finest ever performance/Why: European Championships 2008. I swam the breaststroke leg in the 4x100m medley relay. We won the gold medal and broke the European record.

First senior international meet: 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. I won a medal in the medley relay. I was only 15!

Role models: Sharron Davies. She has moved from being successful in the pool to having a successful a career out of it.

My aspirations are: To focus on getting into an Olympic final.

Tip for the top: To work hard and be dedicated. Try to enjoy yourself.

Life after swimming: No idea. Not sure what though.

Music: Currently listening to Fergie and Leona Lewis.

If I wasn’t a swimmer I would be a: Student

Football, Cricket or Rugby: Not really a huge fan of either, although I will watch England matches.

Describe yourself in three words: Happy, Social and Determined

Would most like to meet: The Beckhams!

Most prized possession: My hair straighteners, without a doubt.

Biggest influence on career: My family

Sporting relations: My cousin, Tom Siddons, has just been picked for England School Boys Football. My granddad played football for Everton and England.
