Cate Jackson is a name that I had heard of since I was a very young age, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would meet her one day. I was told how nice she was and that she was a wonderful swimmer especially when she was beating Guernsey Swimming Club Records as well as Island Records but I never had a face to put to the name, so you can imagine how excited I was when I had a call to ask if she could meet me! We had a really good chat and she told me about the times when she was swimming and how things have changed over the years, we had a swim together and she even gave me a few tips on my backstroke and I can’t wait until I try them out even though this is not my favourite stroke!
