"After seven years in Vichy it was time for a change and to face a new challenge. Throughout my high-performance career I had trained alongside Para swimmers. But the last two years I swam all by myself as I didn't have much competition. So I took up the challenge to join a non-Para club. I said, 'Okay, I'm not going to push the other swimmers, but now they are going to push me and I have to be up to the challenge'."
