SWIMMING<br />
Swimmer profiles men<br />
Finest ever performance/Why: Can I<br />
have two? My gold medal performance at<br />
the Commonwealth Games in 2006, in<br />
Melbourne, I won the 100Fr. Also I hold<br />
the NCAA 200yard Freestyle record<br />

universities compete in short course yards<br />

Role models: None really.<br />

more exciting. I enjoy watching Scotland.<br />
Describe yourself in three words: Cool,<br />

Finest ever performance/Why:<br />
Commonwealth Games 2006 in<br />
Melbourne. In the 400m IM, I won gold<br />

of that swim because I feel it was the best<br />
I physically could have done in that event.<br />
First senior international meet:<br />
Commonwealth Games 2002 in<br />
Manchester, competed for Scotland.<br />
Role models: Ian Black. He was my old<br />
headmaster and swam back in the 1950’s.<br />
I believe he was BBC Sports Personality of<br />
Year also.<br />
My aspirations are: To win an Olympic<br />
Medal and be successful<br />
Tip for the top: Be the best you can be in<br />
whatever you choose to do.<br />
Life after swimming: No idea. A long<br />
happy career in whatever I do.<br />

Scotland in Water Skiing.<br />

SWIMMING<br />
Club: Hatfield<br />
Coach: Nick Juba<br />
Dob: 26.10.88<br />
Height: 1.94m<br />
Weight: 87kg<br />
Born: Hemel Hempstead<br />
Lives: Los Angeles<br />
Events: 1500m Freestyle and 10km<br />
Favourite event: Now I have qualified for<br />
the Olympics, the 1500m.<br />
Finest ever performance/Why: Breaking<br />
the British record over 5k in Manchester<br />
2007 and obviously the final of the 1500m<br />
freestyle Olympic trials. It was tough. The<br />
heats were basically a time trial while in<br />
the final I had to be aware of the field<br />
with only one sport available. (This is<br />
because David Davies pre-qualified for the<br />
event.)<br />
First senior international meet: European<br />
Short Course Championships 2005,<br />
Trieste.<br />
Role models: David Davies. I have done a<br />
few training camps with him and he is<br />
always professional, also Paul Palmer<br />
because of his achievements while I was<br />
growing up. I also admire Oussama<br />
Mellouli.<br />
My aspirations are: I want to win a gold<br />
medal at the London 2012 Olympics.<br />
Tip for the top: The difference between<br />
ordinary and extraordinary is just that<br />
little bit extra.<br />
Life after swimming: I will hopefully train<br />
as an architect so have a career in that.<br />
Music: I like techno and some RnB.<br />
If I wasn’t a swimmer/diver I would be:<br />
Playing Basketball. I was captain at school<br />
but I broke my wrist doing a ‘slam dunk.’<br />
Describe yourself in three words: Tall,<br />
dark and handsome.<br />
Would most like to meet: Muhammed<br />
Ali.<br />
Most prized possession: My bed! I am a<br />
bit lazy and enjoy my sleep.<br />

Height: 1.88m<br />
Weight: 80kg<br />
Trains: Paris<br />
Born: Edinburgh<br />
Lives: Paris<br />
Records: BR 200m Breaststroke 2:10.27.<br />
Favourite event: 50m Free, but I suppose<br />
200 Breast, as it is my best event.<br />
Finest ever performance/Why: 200m<br />
Breaststroke at the Japan International<br />
meet, Chiba in August 2007. It was a huge<br />
PB and huge relief.<br />
Describe yourself in three words:<br />
Grumpy / Manic / Excitable.<br />
Would most like to meet: Muhammad<br />
Ali. He is such a legend and so clever. He<br />
used his head to get the better of his<br />
opponents. He trained smart, and really<br />
knew how to use the psychological aspect<br />
of sport as a tool.<br />
First senior international meet: European<br />
Short Course 2004.<br />
My aspirations are: World record and<br />
Olympic Gold. I don’t think I will reach my<br />
peak for another couple of years, so wait<br />
for 2011 and 2012. I have modified my<br />
training after the Olympics and work on<br />
more strength, and hopefully get faster<br />
over 100Br. Little things make all the<br />
difference.<br />
Tip for the top: Goal setting is the most<br />
important thing. Rarely do you achieve<br />
more than your ultimate goal.<br />
Life after swimming: I have a degree in<br />
Sports Science, so may go back to<br />
education.<br />
Music: I have an open music taste. I quite<br />
like the Fratellis at the moment.<br />
If I wasn’t a swimmer I would: I would<br />
probably be doing another sport. I was<br />
reasonably good at tennis because I have<br />
really good hand-eye coordination.<br />
Biggest influence on career: All coaches.<br />
All saw the potential in me, and their<br />
belief gave me the confidence to perform.<br />
What has your current coach done<br />
different to others? Fred’s philosophy is<br />
different, and it has taken me a good year<br />
before I started to see vast<br />
improvements. One thing he does is place<br />
land training as an equal to swimming<br />
work, rather than only a compliment to it.<br />

Finest ever performance/Why: Breaking<br />
the Commonwealth Record in the 200m<br />

right. I really wanted to win that one. Liam<br />
Tancock and I really pushed each other.<br />

year so that has been a life changing.<br />

Finest ever performance/Why: My<br />

saw 4 minutes 12 seconds on the<br />
scoreboard and thought ‘wow’. Earlier in<br />
the meet my swims were pretty average<br />

shock.<br />

Tip for the top: I’m not there yet!<br />

Finest ever performance/Why:<br />
Competing in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay<br />
at the Commonwealth Games for<br />
Scotland where we collected the silver<br />

to nearly win was a surprise. I have fond<br />
memories of that race. Individually, I won<br />
a silver medal at the World University<br />
Games last summer (07). It was my only<br />
individual swim over the past two and a<br />
half years and was a big time drop for me.<br />

Finest ever performance/Why: My two<br />
final performances at the Olympics in<br />
Beijing. To perform and achieve above<br />
your dreams at the pinnacle of your sport<br />
is every athletes aspiration. Both were<br />
different swims, one very much a “race”<br />
whereas the other turned out to be me<br />
pushing myself as hard as possible against<br />

worked brilliantly. I’m so excited to be<br />
going to the Olympics.<br />

100 Breaststroke)! If I could swim any<br />
event though it would be the 50 Free,<br />
unfortunately my freestyle is not the best!<br />
Finest ever performance/Why: European<br />

Freestyle. The 400m Freestyle is not a<br />
total sprint or an endurance event so it’s<br />
the perfect distance for me. I love<br />
competing in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay<br />
too.<br />
Lives: Loughborough<br />
Would most like to meet: David<br />

Most prized possession: My car, I’ve had<br />
it for about a year now.<br />
Biggest influence on career: Dave<br />
McNulty who has been my coach for<br />
around eight years now. My sister Nicola<br />
has also been a huge influence.<br />
First senior international meet: World<br />
Championships 2003 Barcelona.<br />
Role models: People like Lance<br />
Armstrong and Steve Redgrave who have<br />
both achieved so much in their lives<br />
despite going through some bad times.<br />
My aspirations are: To go from strength<br />
to strength and still perform well.<br />
Tip for the top: Try your best and be<br />
happy.<br />
Life after swimming: Depends on how<br />
things turn out! I will remain in swimming<br />
as long as I can. I always fancied a career<br />
in the police.<br />
Music: Dance and R’n’B, depends on my<br />

3:57.50.<br />
Favourite event: 100m Butterfly. I always<br />
enjoyed butterfly from an early age. The<br />
100m event is the middle distance (50 /<br />
100 / 200) for the butterfly and is<br />
generally the one I perform best in.<br />
Finest ever performance/Why: 200m<br />
Butterfly at the Olympic Trials. To swim a<br />
three second personal best in the heats<br />
was crazy, I definitely did not expect to<br />
swim that fast.<br />
First senior international meet:<br />
Commonwealth Games 2006. I compete<br />
for Wales because my dad is Welsh.<br />
My aspirations are: I want to win a medal<br />
at an Olympics and break a World Record.<br />
Tip for the top: Never give in. You come<br />
back stronger after a setback.<br />
Life after swimming: No idea that will<br />
hopefully be a long way away.<br />
Music: Anything upbeat. I quite like<br />
dance music.<br />
If I wasn’t a swimmer I would be a:<br />

Lives: Loughborough<br />
Occupation: Student studying Politics<br />
and Social Psychology<br />
Finest ever performance/Why:<br />
Commonwealth Games 2006, 200m<br />
Freestyle. I simply did not expect it. It was<br />
also the first race of the meet and to get<br />
off to a winning start hopefully<br />
encouraged the rest of the Scottish team.<br />
Would most like to meet: Nelson<br />
Mandela. What he did was amazing, a role<br />
model for millions of people.<br />
Most prized possession: My house. I<br />
bought it with the help of my parents. I’ve<br />
had it for just under a year now.<br />
Sporting relations: Both my parents<br />
swam for Scotland in the Commonwealth<br />
Games, and my uncle Alan won a relay<br />
medal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.<br />
First senior international meet: I made<br />
my debut at the Olympics in Athens<br />
(2004). We just missed a medal coming<br />
5th.<br />
Role models: Don’t really idolise anyone,<br />
although people that simply do<br />
remarkable things like Michael Phelps are<br />
quite inspiring.<br />
Tip for the top: Enjoy what you do and<br />
have fun.<br />
Life after swimming: With my interest in<br />
politics I would choose that direction. I<br />
fancy the Minister of Sport role at some<br />
point.<br />
Music: Like the Kooks, but lots of things<br />
rock, indie, bit of pop.<br />
If I wasn’t a swimmer I would be: In a<br />
different sport. Probably athletics as I ran<br />
a lot while at school.<br />

Favourite event: 400IM. It is such an<br />
interesting event. Every competitor has a<br />
weak and strong stroke and the lead changes<br />
all the time. It’s great to compete in.<br />
First international meet: European Junior<br />
Championships 2005. I won a silver medal<br />
in the 400IM.<br />
Role models: I admire anyone who gets<br />
up early to train and work hard. Graham<br />
Obree is a great example.<br />
My aspirations are: To stay injury-free<br />
and healthy. To end my season on a high<br />
and continue to work towards 2012.<br />
Tip for the top: Don’t give up.<br />
Encourage. Everything happens for a<br />
reason, you can find a positive in<br />
everything.<br />
Life after swimming: Not sure. I will keep<br />
swimming in my life, maybe coaching or<br />
help children in the sport.<br />
Music: Not heavy rock, but anything that<br />
helps me to focus. I love movie<br />
soundtracks because there is always a<br />
good range of music. I am more of a film<br />
fan than a music fan. I love action or<br />
comedy films. In Sheffield at the Olympic<br />
trials between sessions as a family we<br />
would go back to our apartment and<br />
watch a film together. It helps me to relax.<br />
If I wasn’t a swimmer I would be: A<br />
dancer. I used to do a lot of ballet, and<br />
coming from Scotland, Highland Dancing<br />
while I was young.<br />
Football, Cricket or Rugby: Rugby. I<br />
think it is tougher both physically and<br />
mentally. I am intrigued by all the pre<br />
match rituals.<br />
Describe yourself in three words: Quirky<br />

Australian Stephanie Rice, and she took<br />
the record off Katie Hoff (USA). It would<br />

of them and have a chat.<br />

deserved. I use to get a lift to training<br />
everyday from Steve and Ade Turner.<br />
They are the only two people who can<br />
make me laugh at 5am!<br />
My aspirations are: I have achieved my<br />
dream of making an Olympics, so I am<br />
now targeting getting to a final. I missed<br />
out on qualifying for Athens 2004, as I<br />
achieved the qualifying time 2 weeks late.<br />
After Beijing, I am going to take a break,<br />
before hopefully going to university to do<br />
a media degree. I will keep swimming<br />
though.<br />
Tip for the top: Enjoy it. I had a couple of<br />
years hating swimming. I changed my<br />
events and now I am happy again. Being<br />
happy really effects your performances.<br />
Music: Everything. I listen to radio 1 so<br />
whatever is on. Because of training times I<br />
listen to Chris Moyles and Edith Bowman<br />
shows.<br />
Describe yourself in three words: Funny<br />

Most prized possession: My nephew.<br />

Biggest influence on career: My brother<br />
Mark. He is my big brother (9 years older).<br />
When I was younger I got to choose<br />
whether to go swimming training with him<br />
or Gymnastics club with my sister. Always<br />
chose swimming.<br />

Backstroke, was awesome. It means so<br />
much to win an NCAA title in America, I<br />
even received a fan letter before I came<br />
over to the UK for the Olympic Trials.<br />

Newcomer’s guide to swimming<br />
Swimmers often talk using their own abbreviations and words that do not apply to the<br />
outside world.<br />
Below is a simple glossary of the most frequent terms used:<br />
PB: Personal Best time<br />
Splits: This is the time at each 50m turn. Swimmers will monitor these to see how they<br />
paced a race.<br />
Taper: A swimmer will ‘taper’ prior to any major competition. What this means is that they<br />
will rest. They will cut back the about of training they do each day and decrease the<br />
intensity also. A swimmer may swim over 12, 000m a day during heavy training, however<br />
they will swim as little as a few hundred metres the day before an event.<br />
Free: Freestyle or front crawl.<br />
Breast: Breaststroke.<br />
Fly: Butterfly.<br />
Back: Backstroke.<br />
IM: Individual Medley (Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Freestyle). In a medley relay,<br />
the order is changed so that backstroke is first. This addresses the fact that backstrokers<br />
cannot do a dive to start a race. Four swimmers compete in one of the following strokes<br />
in the following order; backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle.<br />
Newcomer’s guide to swimming<br />
Swim-down: A recovery exercise that takes place several minutes after a swimmer<br />
completes their race.<br />
They will swim at a low intensity in another pool in order to rid the body of lactic acid,<br />
which would have accumulated in the muscles after high-intensity swims.<br />
Long Course: Long Course events are those held in a 50m pool.<br />
Shaving-down: Most swimmers shave the hair from their bodies for a big meet. Although<br />
they will remove almost all of their body hair, the actual intention is to remove the top<br />
layer of skin from the body. This increases the sensitivity and “feel” for the water. Even<br />
though many swimmers wear all-over body suits, shaving remains a key psychological<br />
measure in getting prepared for a race.<br />
The eight fastest swimmers from the heats will compete in the final. The lane order for the<br />
finals is decided from times in the heats or semi-finals. The fastest qualifier will swim in<br />
lane 4, the second fastest in lane 5, third fastest in lane 3, fourth in lane 6, fifth in lane 2,<br />
sixth in lane 7, seventh in lane 1 and eight in lane 8. Theoretically, this creates a<br />
spearhead format in the race.<br />
For the duration of the World Championships, the one-start rule will apply. Should any<br />
swimmer perform a false start they will be disqualified from the race. Any swimmer who is<br />
moving before the start will be disqualified at the end of the race. The start should go<br />
ahead regardless of the disqualification.<br />
