Why is Dereham Otters Swimming Club important to you?
The swimming club holds a special place in my life because it has given me the opportunity to form lifelong friendships. It’s not just a place to train but also an escape from the pressures of studies—a space where I can challenge myself, compete, and grow both as an athlete and as a person.
