Why is ESC so important to you?

As someone who struggles with confidence & anxiety, swimming helps my body relax & my mind to focus. It has built my self esteem and I feel fitter & stronger.

ESC does become your second home, when I first started I wasn't the fastest & I needed to develop my technique however, I was welcomed with open arms from day one & made to feel part of the team.

At ESC, Team = Family, we are made up of volunteers, swim parents, swimmers and highly qualified coaches all of which have guided and brought the best out of me.

As the boy's club captain this year, I hope to make the newcomers and our current swimmers all feel part of the family and hope they make friends for life.

Why is ESC so important to you?

The club is my 2nd family. I love spending time with my team mates, whether we are training or competing the support and friendships are like no other.

Our coaches are amazing and know how to get the best out of us.

I pride myself on training hard and supporting other swimmers. I am so proud to be the Girls Captain and hope I can be a good role model for the younger swimmers.

Swimming is like a daily dose of therapy, helping me physically and mentally.

I would genuinely be lost without Team Eastbourne, it's a huge part of my life. I'm excited to see the club grow and continue to do well.
