I am not a water baby like you boys, but since meeting Etienne I have a greater understanding of a. the sport you excel in and b. the commitment it takes to reach the level you have.

I am so grateful — can’t turn the clock back and say “why not sooner?’ but I hope to be achieveing at a different level for many yeasrs to come.

I will link you to Etienne via Twitter and be sure that he has your article

P.S The swimming has been amazing — I am a big fan of Michael Phelps — from a distance one does not understand the workings of such an athlete, yet he is quite incredible
