He has broken many records during the swimming carnival and went on to higher repre- sentative levels. Ian hopes in the future he may represent Australia at the Olympic Games. Interrupting Ian’s busy schedule, we managed to get this interview; Ian, how long have you been swimming? Since I was 9 years old coached by Douglas Frost up at Padstow Indoor Pool. What is it like being a dedicated swimmer? It’s not the easiest thing, for example getting up 4:00am training then going to school, then going to train- ing once more in the afternoon. Do you think aiming at the Olympics is a expectation to live up to? Having set goals at Olympic levels is definitely very hard to achieve but I am sure I can achieve it in the end. What things have you had to given up for your swimming? To achieve my dream and keep up with school work, you must give up with a lot of things. Such as Televi- sion, fattening foods and socialising. How will you feel if you achieve your goals?
