I’m honoured to get AOTM having only been at the club for such short time!

After being pointed in the direction of Red Dog, it was the quality of both coaches and athletes that made me stick around.

Typically, between 6-7 plus some weights.

  1. What’s your favourite RDTT session and why?

Any swim session that doesn’t involve bands…

To be able to eat and drink whatever I want with no consequences.
