Young Leader Profile – 'Why I Swim' by Robyn

Posted on 2 March 2024

I start­ed learn­ing to swim when I was five years old at Atlantis Swim­ming School. I start­ed swim­ming lessons with school at my local pool. At one ses­sion, a City of Leeds Swim­ming Club coach attend­ed and observed every­one. I was invit­ed to a tri­al for a place in the Stage 8 Group, was accept­ed and I began train­ing 3 times a week on evenings and com­pet­ed in short races at Devel­op­ment Galas every now and again.
