I'm really please with how I swam in both of these events over the last few months. My training paid off leading up to these events and I look forward to doing better at them next year.

It was cool how the NZSS was streamed live on Sky Sport, it was good to look at how I was swimming and where I can make improvements ~ Anabel Scott
