Kazan is just around the corner now Chad, how are you feeling?
I’m really excited about Kazan! My team and I have worked really hard and I feel it will be a good Championships for us.
Your focus during the competition…
My main focus will be the 100m and 200m fly, where I will try to win both events. I will also swim the 50m fly which will be a test event prior to the 100m. I will also compete in the 200m freestyle, where my aim is to simply swim fast and come away with a medal. I think I will go in to the championships telling myself to try and win as much as I can. Every race will be tough for me, the heats, semis and finals. It’s not like Mare Nostrum, where you can just swim easy in the morning and compete in 3 or 4 races, instead you can swim up to 12 races, meaning you must be mentally prepared and ready to go each time you step up on the blocks.
Approaching the 200m Freestyle…
I will approach the 200m free as I approach every race, to try and win For me it will be slightly more difficult as it is not my natural stroke but I think the most difficult thing will be to make the final, but if I can make that, then I stand a chance of winning. I’m not the greatest morning person you see, so it will be the heats and semis that will prove…
