We fell in love with Olympic swimmer Libby Trickett in 2003 when she stormed the Australian swimming championships, then the World Championships in Barcelona. Her career includes 24 gold, 9 silver and 8 bronze medals, and 2 retirements. But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for this sweetheart of the pool. As well as being a new mum, Libby is now an ambassador for BeyondBlue, and she shares her story with us in this episode.
