I am, yeah.

I actually was playing these five songs to other people.

They were like, why have you chosen these songs?

And I was like, no, you'll understand.

But no, I do.

Obviously, music's a massive part of racing.

You're walking out before a race, you're listening to get you in the right mood.

So that's kind of where it comes in my life.

I would say as long as I can remember, I've been very confident.

I think my parents would always say, I was always running around the house saying I want to become an Olympian.

And, you know, I think that's just come all the way through what I've been doing in the pool so far.

I think you have to be born that kind of way.

I don't think it really comes like as you grow up.

I think you have to be born with it.

Well, I started swimming when I was seven and then I started like actually taking it like passively when I was 12.

So I guess from 12 onwards was when I started properly training.

And then when I guess when you go to university around 18, you like decide then I am going to take it seriously.

Okay.

Yeah, honestly, from 12 years old, it's kind of a full on schedule.

Like you're getting up at 5am to go training before school, a lot of parent involvement.
