RE: Sporting memories: Losing an important swimming match with grace as a child

Definitely a lesson well learned and a pity it happened later on and not early on in your swimming career. I think in all sports you find your level as there are going to be people better than you and it is how you deal with it. Staying calm whilst under pressure is all it takes.

i have a lot of regrets as far as not pursuing this a bit further but just like most teenagers, I knew everything at the time and one of those things was that I didn't want to compete in swimming anymore. Could have it lead to excellence? We'll never know!
