Speaker 4: You have.

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 5: Have you written a children's book?

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: I have, Yeah, tell me about that quickly. It's called

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: The Sea and Me.

36
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 6: I wrote it while I was swimming, just kind of

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 6: about my relationship with water and trying to inspire kids

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 6: to get out of nature and find their kind of

39
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 6: because I find a lot of solace in peace and

40
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 6: swimming and especially out in the ocean stuff. So it

41
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 6: was a nice story, beautiful illustrations of all sea animals

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: and everything.

43
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: It's a cool it's a cool book.

44
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Mate. You went to la very young, your career

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: started very young, and I remember we went over there.

46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: We remember we would go over there for quite regularly

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: and we'd run into you.

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: But it's a you know what, it's a tough place

49
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: to be when you're from Australia. You don't have too

50
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: much support around you, and you're young. It was was

51
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: swimming as sort of an outlet to get away sort of.

52
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: From that lifestyle and that industry for a little bit.

53
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 6: Eventually it was I didn't swim for like the better

54
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 6: part of those ten years that I lived there. It

55
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 6: was towards the end that I started to really realize

56
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 6: that I needed it because I missed it so much.

57
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 6: And in the end, it's sort of almost what saved

58
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 6: me from a lot of the chaos of it. You know,

59
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: this is sliding into too much you know, nonsense and

60
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 6: partying and all that. Like I was like, I can't

61
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 6: be doing that if I want to, especially if I

62
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 6: wanted to, because I had the idea of that fire

63
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 6: in me to want to compete and train again. So yeah,

64
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 6: it's it saved me from from from the edge sometimes

65
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 6: for sure.

66
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: It also led to the love of your life as well. Mate.

67
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: If you didn't, you wouldn't have You wouldn't you wouldn't

68
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 4: have met Emma.

69
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 6: No, no, no, We met through through swimming and training,

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 6: and we we then lived. It was amazing having her

71
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 6: because we have lived the same exact life and we're

72
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 6: on the same schedule for years and it made it

73
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 6: that much easier to get up.

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 4: And she got a better work ethic than you and

75
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: the pool.

76
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably, I mean she's the best of time.

77
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 5: Can I ask you this though? Can she sing and

78
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: dance and play guitar?

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 6: She hate me for saying this, but no, you've got her, balance,

80
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 6: You've got her.
