I just always really wanted to swim. It was always a family thing: dad obviously swam, and my sister did, too. And mum used to come along to meets. They had to drag me out of the pool - so there was never any pressure on me to swim. It was just something I loved doing. Aimee Willmott daddragfamily share on social

If you want the truth, it doesn't bother me because I don't know any different. I just know that me and my mum, that was my family. Sally Pearson bothercalldad share on social
