Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to travel the world at a young age to do what I love, which is sport.

Thanks to very supportive parents, John Senior and Els, I was able to compete in marathon swims ranging from 20 to 48 kilometers in my late teens, while others were stuck at school. This allowed me to meet many amazing people and also to coach many more, something I could never have done without sport.
