Cameron says he finds the sessions in the pool ‘relaxing’. ‘I can plan my day, think about what needs to be done and generally gather my thoughts.’ Between his financial future and keeping up fitness levels, he also manages the perfect metrosexual look – enough to earn him With a world-class the title of SA Style Icon in 2012. performance in the How he got this far is impressive, given a slightly unpromising finals of the FINA start to his academic path.
