Thank you to everyone who's helped me
For elite athletes to 'make it'... i.e. to climb (or in my case, swim) to the top of their professions… they must have an incredible work ethic, dedicated coaches, supportive families and sponsors. Of course, a sponsorship arrangement must be mutually beneficial, but there is no way I would have achieved the success I did without those individuals, companies and government organisations who supported me financially or by providing me with gear, equipment, etc. … basically all the tools of my trade.
I have loved receiving products during my pregnancy from Gaia Skin Naturals and SRC Recovery Shorts.
Peter Smith of Kwik Kopy in Brookvale was my first ever sponsor and I will never forget the importance of his support. Thank you Peter.
Currently my sponsors include:
I thank them for their support as I move beyond my swimming career into a new life… but I also want to acknowledge all my past sponsors including:
- EnergyAustralia
- Speedo
- Mazda
- Macquarie Bank
- Manly Swimming Club
- Manly Surf Club
- Azzollini swimwear
- NSWIS (New South Wales Institute of Sport) and of course
- Swimming Australia
Of course, support comes from people as much as organisations... my family has always been 100% behind me – thanks so much mum and dad. My coaches, starting with the amazing Narelle Simpson at Manly, then Brian Sutton and Steve Alderman – all contributed to my success. Special thanks to Oxygen Factory
for giving me the chance to have a positive impact on the lives of young people.
