Drew first learned to swim at the age of 3 and a half at the Esquimalt Rec Centre. His favourite stroke is freestyle and he swims to stay fit.
Drew likes swimming in both lakes and the ocean. He feels like he is part of nature when in the open water. For the past several years he has swum the 5 km event at Thetis Lake Swim in 1 and a half hours typically placing within the top 3.
Drew likes whales and playing in water. He also likes being flexible about things, so they work out for everyone. This summer he swam in 6-foot waves in Cowichan.
