Joshua Tibatemwa
He first started swimming to lose weight, but later he fell in love with the sport. He began enjoying the sport at age 13. "At first I didn't want to compete. With swimming, you have time to yourself as compared to other sports. You don't have to shout to pass the ball. You can be alone in your head".
