Chris Cook Interview
Chris Cook, an athlete who competed for us in the 2008 Olympics, came into school in 2012 to hold a private fitness lesson with selected pupils and open the brand new swimming pool. He is now an ambassador for a Sky Sports campaign set up to change sports throughout areas for students. I interviewed him when he came into school.
Q. So Chris, what inspired you to become a swimmer?
A: When I was younger, I watched the 1988 Olympics and after that, parents, friends and teachers were a big part of it.
Q. Have you always wanted to be a swimmer, or did you have another career in mind?
A. When I was younger I had family members who were bus drivers, and I thought that was really cool at the time, so I wanted to do that first, but then watching the Olympics, I was inspired by the athletes and I wanted to be like them.
Q. Do you have a favorite stroke, and if so, what is it and why?
A. My favorite stroke is the breast stroke, because I had a fun time swimming it, and it was also the only one I could do.
