SK92 Lewis Clareburt

400IM World and Commonwealth Bronze medallist Lewis Clareburt joins The Social Kick this week.

Deep in his preparations for Tokyo, the Kiwi swimmer takes some time to tell us about the sport of swimming in New Zealand and his surprise 4.09.87 pb at trials.

As one of New Zealand’s leading professional swimmers, Lewis shares his stories of overcoming adversity in the pool. From the public trying to jump into his training sessions to swimming in a 33m pool most days, Lewis proves that if you put your mind to something, you can succeed.

Motivated to lead the way for younger swimmers in New Zealand, Lewis decided to stay in his home country and continue to pursue his Olympic dreams surrounded by his family and friends.

Discussing his usual training routines and his love of Surf Life Saving, Lewis Clareburt is all about learning from those around him and pushing himself to be the best.
