Alice Dearing in her own words Anything but Footy

- Löpning
The Team GB history maker is stepping away from competitive swimming. 27 year old Alice Dearing became the first black woman to swim for TeamGB at an Olympic Games. She also set up the Black Swimming Association to diversify her sport and keep encouraging everyone to learn to swim - a basic life skill.
But what next? Alice is keen to convey a message to other British Olympic and Paralympic athletes and staff about best preparing for the process, and this comes as UK Sport, the UK Sports Institute (UKSI) and the British Elite Athletes Association (BEAA) are increasing engagement with athletes to help them for their life beyond a funded programme.
This is an Anything but Footy special with Alice Dearing in her own words.
