When you race with adjustments. A traffic light. Head down. Focused
This is part of my campaign to have traffic light starts in all swim events in #GB
This is a small request when there’s over 12 million deaf & hard hearing in the UK

Just 1 more day of racing here in #Tokyo. It’s been a difficult one competing against so many athletes who are funded by their countries. How they stand with such an equal stance
The campaign goes on & my determination stronger

Into the semi-finals tonight (Tokyo time). You can tell we’re not supported otherwise these lot ⬆️ would be shouting our names & thanking all the players for playing the lottery
Their #silence is so deafening

DAY 3 here in #Tokyo
What a venue. Training in this pool. The pool of the #Olympic games. Still no support from the Government or National Lottery. I remember reading the posts of thanks to the players from athletes. How different it was

Our first chance to train today. This is the same pool used for the Olympic 2020 games. This place is huge.
I’m still trying to understand the journey I’ve had to get here. A bit different to Olympic & Paralympic swimmers

Yesterday @GranadaReports covered our battle for fairness in the sporting world. One final push before I headed to #Tokyo. I just deserve what everyone else gets.
I won’t stop I promise

What a long journey this has been for me personally having been stopped from competing at 24th Deaflympics after training for 4 years (imagine that happening to an Olympic or Paralympic athlete). Attending #parliament. What a day that was.

Great to see 2 swimmers on BBC Breakfast this morning
We are sharing the story of Deaflympics
Together we are stronger
We cannot be silenced
The world is seeing your failure to support us

Is it wrong that deaf athletes are about to compete on the world stage without the support, funding or even acknowledgment from those that champion Olympic & Paralympic athletes

I competed last weekend.The last swimmer on the block. The last to leave the block. ‘Making do’ should never be an option but you see this is what your policy does. It forgets about athletes like me. Why should anyone else care if you don’t

7 days to go & I bet in those 7 days our Govt will keep their silence. They have given no funding, shown no respect & have lead an entire country to follow their lead in the discrimination of deaf athletes
This is #GB
This is reality

Just 9 days until I ✈️ to #Tokyo to represent 🇬🇧 & still no support or funding, no mention of our selection or determination.
YOU are funding this discrimination
YOU are leading them

Thank you to everyone for your support & kind words. It’s not always easy sharing the struggles I’ve had throughout my life. It’s taken a long time to realise that I wasn’t the one that needed to change.
One last fight to go💪
1525 days of campaigning (officially) & today Swim England shares my story & the fight to exist in the sporting world when you are deaf. In just 11 days I will start my journey to Japan to represent my country

Just think about this🤔
#Olympic
#Paralympic
Receive £600 million
#Deaflympic
Receive £0
What is the point of grassroots with nothing to aim for. A policy discriminating our existence
You pave our path with isolation, silence, a WALL

That what I said wasn’t true
To be told by a swimmer that they hope that they achieve far more than I have at my age was probably the lowest you can be
