We have a saying, ‘Think about the process, not the outcome.’ In a race, I’m thinking about getting off the block as fast as I can, getting in the water the right way, getting my breathing right and all the things I need to do to be the fastest I can be.
– Holly Barratt

The 27-year-old was honoured with the award for her achievements in swimming this year. She said that although her swimming has really improved over the last few years the award was still a complete surprise.
