Swim experience
I started as a pool swimmer.
As best i was 13th in 200 butterfly in the Swedish Championship.
I had a break from swimming when i was 21 but then found my way back 6-7 years later.
I've competed in the Masters Swedish Championship a couple of times but then i found open water swimming and fell in love with it.
My open water experience is:
Torekov Open Water 3k (Hallands Väderö to Torekov)
Karl-Oskarsimmet 5k (Växjö)
Kanalsimmet Hyltebruk 2k (Hyltebruk)
Vidösternsimmet 21k
Personal bio
I work and live in Markaryd.
I swim with the local club and help with teaching adults to swim crawl and being an official when we have our local pool competitions. I'm also a board member of my local club.
Best swim experience
My best swimming experience is my first Vidösternsimmet. I was really nervous and not sure if i could make it at the start. But with the feeling of togetherness and striving for the same goal with the other swimmers and not the least the help from all the volunteers the feeling changed and made it a really memorable moment that i won't forget. The fact that I won makes it a little more memorable but the thing i remember the most was the feeling at the start of the race. The feeling of what have i gotten my self into, the feeling of doubt, but with all the people around me those feelings disappeared.
