Favourite Event: 100m backstroke / 400 freestyle
Finest ever performance/Why: The two 100m backstroke swims at Sheffield and Manchester where I equalled then beat the World record and my 400m swim at Berlin. All 3 swims were completely unexpected

Role models: Becky Adlington / Jo Jackson
My aspirations are: To go to Beijing and hopefully bring home a gold medal

Life after swimming: A driving instructor and hopefully coaching swimming
