Sport Specific Information |
Why this sport? |
"I've always been a water baby. From when I was a youngster I was always trying to get into the water, no matter the weather. It was probably when my parents found me at the bottom of the pool, not due to their negligence but my perseverance to get into the water, that they decided it was time I became water safe." |
General Interest |
Sporting philosophy / motto |
"The moment you're ready to quit is usually the moment right before a miracle happens. Don't give up." (heslopsports.co.za, 11 Jul 2015) |

NAME
His first name is Devon but due to a family tradition he goes by his second name Myles. "My name is Devon Myles William Brown, but most people know me as Myles. The reason for this is that it is a family tradition that the first-born son of each generation is called by their second name as well as taking the name William. So my first name is Devon but everyone calls me Myles, which sometimes causes a lot of confusion." (heslopsports.co.za, 11 Jul 2015)
FURTHER EDUCATION
In 2019 he graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from the Independent Institute of Education's Varsity College in South Africa. He has also studied for a degree in commercial law from Damelin Correspondence College in New Zealand.
