BREASTSTROKE FOCUS
He specialises in breaststroke. "There is something different about the stroke - it can be on-point, it can be off-point. Sometimes, I can feel amazing in the water, or sometimes, it feels like I'm going slow. You really need to cherish the stroke, that's how I see it. I really like breaststroke a lot."
