It is the dream of millions around the world.
 
And Chris Cook has lived it - not once, but twice.
 
Having competed at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics, Chris shares his stories from the pool as he reflects on an incredible career.
 
But for Chris, leaving the sport resulted in an 'emotional unravelling' - and in this episode he sits down with host Charlotte Nichols to talk about what came next, and how he found himself after leaving the sport he loved.
 
Now a non-executive director and keynote speaker, Chris talks about everything from the vital support of his wife, Erica, to the horror of losing his lifesavings within days after a business opportunity fell apart.
