SK97 Tamsin Cook

Before she makes the journey to Tokyo, The Social Kick is joined by Australian swimmer and Olympic Silver medallist, Tamsin Cook.

Tamsin swam an impressive anchor leg at the age of 17 to bring Australia home in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay for a second-place finish. An individual 400m swimmer, Tamsin has qualified for Tokyo in a packed event with the likes of Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus.

After retiring after the Rio Olympics to focus on school and due to an injury, Tamsin has made a Rocky Balboa style comeback in swimming this year. Within 12 months of training, Tamsin has moved from never believing she would swim again to qualifying for her second Olympic Games at the age of 22.

In a discussion about the progression of the women’s 400m Free and the importance of being self-aware and listening to your body, Tamsin talks us through her swimming journey.

Get ready for Tokyo and listen to her story, enjoy!
