Introducing Gold medalist Aimee Willmott...

Now, we don't think Aimee Willmott needs much of an introduction, as we are sure you have heard of her or seen some of her amazing swimming wins over the last few years. Most recently Aimee claimed gold and a Commonwealth title at Gold Coast 2018, following on from silver medals at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and holds an amazing 4 gold, 11 silver and 4 bronze medals!
