Master's Swimming
I believe my results in Master's Swimming are testament to the success of my Neuro-Cognitive Training Program. Since starting this program in January 2021, not only am I continually improving my times, but I am also competing over longer distances and adding different strokes (such as butterfly) to the events that I am able to compete in. Please explore my results below

These are my 50 metre backstroke times. As of the Australian Master's in April 2022, I have improved by almost 10 seconds. By this time, I had been doing Neuro-Cognitive Training for around 16 months.

These are my 25 metre backstroke times. As of the Australian Swimming Championships in April 2022, I have improved by 2.56 seconds.
In the 25 metre butterfly event, I have been able to beat my most recent personal best by 3.26 seconds.
More recently I have been competing in longer-distance events, like 100m freestyle. Overall I have improved my benchmark time by 6.17 seconds
In the 25m freestyle event, I have improved my time by 1.35 seconds
Butterfly is considered to be the hardest stroke, as it requires more muscles firing at the same time (U.S Master's Swimming 2018). I only began competing in butterfly events in late 2021, and since then, I have improved by 6.16 seconds in the 50 metre event.
In the 50m freestyle event, I have improved by 1.45 seconds.
Unfortunately due to ill health, I had to withdraw from the Pan Pacific Games in November 2022. As a result, none of my times will have been updated until the 2023 season begins.
Along with improving my lap times, I have increased my swimming repertoire by starting to compete in butterfly from 2022, and also competing in longer events, such as 100 metre freestyle. I am also planning to compete in 800 metre freestyle.
