So excited to officially announce that I have been selected as a @TeamGB athlete for the Tokyo 2020 games. I have qualified in the marathon swimming race (10KM, open water). My selection makes me the first black woman to represent GB in a swimming event at the Olympic Games.

Bit of video game trivia lived out today. The marathon race course in Odaiba Bay is a location in one of my favourite video games, Persona 5. Swimming past Rainbow Bridge geeking out 🤪

Out here in Tokyo! Jet lag is hurting me but there’s unlimited sticky rice at meal times so it’s all good 🥰

Great to see @adam_peaty speaking out for diversity in swimming. The sport needs as many voices as possible to help drive this forward 👏🏽

‘My son will be mixed race. I want him to be judged on his achievements not his skin colour.’ Powerful interview today with Olympic champion @adam_peaty by @sallynugent on @BBCBreakfast. He wants more diversity in swimming & backs #OpenOurPools campaign. bbc.co.uk/sport/swimming…

Just got home and finally having a few moments to process the last 48 hours as it has been a whirlwind of craziness. Went out to Portugal with hopes and daydreams of qualifying for the Olympics and to have it become a reality is still hitting home.

After 18 years in competitive swimming & 10 years on British senior teams I’m moving on to other ventures and leaving the competitive swimming arena.

I usually keep these emotions to myself with swimming. But I’ve never been more motivated to see things through than I am now. I’ve been overlooked and underestimated at many points in my career & I’m through with trying to prove these people wrong. This is for me & only me.
