Trained twice a day before and after school went to school to rest between training
Also due to being so fit did well in long distance running which I did in the winter on Saturdays didn’t train just took part and did well
Then quite a few school sports was very good at most things and would only play in sport that I was good at Hockey, basketball to name a few I was hopeless at tennis and squash so only played this a few times declaring this isn’t for me
When I left School I went into fashion design and won awards in this
At nineteen I started up my own fashion business in menswear
At 24 I came to Sydney to live, worked in fashion for a while then moved onto other things career wise manly in the Health industry selling I also studied natural medicine
When I retire my goal is to get back into swimming in the masters (for fun this time )and also playing croquet for fun as well I see myself training morning at the Sutherland pool then playing croquet
