Inspirational  was the adjective used to describe Jane Asher's motivational talk that she gave in August to the top people in swimming including the current  Presidents of FINA, LEN, and the  ASA as well as past and current Olympians plus  Board Members of ASA and British Swimming and various other Guests. Jane gave an overview of her swimming life starting in Northern Rhodesia, in the Zambesi- with crocodiles and hippos. She described the attributes you need to be a good swimmer - flexibility, strength, good technique and told us how she achieved these. She told the audience how exciting it is to move up an age group!!  She told of successes achieved by people who have started swimming to help health problems. From the reports of the talk the audience found her to be very modest about her swimming achievements, whilst emphasising what pleasure she derives from swimming, teaching and coaching. She was rightly, very well, received.
