Personal story

I started swimming with the idea of ​​developing my lungs, but I started to get motivated by the goals I set for myself and to pursue them every day. My idol is Adam Peaty, I like his swimming style.

At first, it was very difficult for me to cope with certain exercises, but with the right advice from my coach, it gradually became easier. I have gone through many hardships to get here - missed birthdays, lack of free time, few holidays with my family. I know that my future is in my hands and if I make the necessary efforts every day I can go far.

For me, swimming has become a way of life. Being a competitor in NSK Olimp is a pleasure, the club helps me a lot in all aspects. My advice to young competitors is not to give up and to know that when they work hard enough, they will go far.

The person I want to thank is my coach Lyubomir Simeonov, because without him, none of what I have achieved would be a reality.
