Jacob is a Tokyo 2021 Olympian, 2022 gold medal winner in the Commonwealth games, and Whole Supp ambassador.

We sat down with him to learn more about how he got into swimming, his biggest career challenges, and how Whole Supp keeps him fuelled.

Jacob, tell us about how you got started in swimming?

I was talent spotted at a school swimming gala in year 4! (For those not based in the UK, that would be aged 8 to 9!)

15 years later, what has kept you motivated to keep pushing yourself?

I want to be the best version of myself. Plus, I really enjoy my sport.

I have a goal - whether it's a long-term overarching goal, or separating it with smaller goals in between.

The goal for this year has been the Olympics - but before I get there, I have to qualify in trials. So trials is my step 1 smaller goal for the year.

Tell me more about when you discovered Whole Supp and how it fits into your routine.

I've been taking it for 3 to 4 months now. Nutrition is very important in my overall training regime, and Whole Supp keeps me on track. I take it as a post or pre training snack.

It's really key for recovering from my heavy sessions. The first thing with recovery is making sure you're getting the right nutrients and the right macros in. With the help of Whole Supp I've been managing to do this really well.

Now that Whole Supp has helped me nail down the basics of recovery, I've also started experimenting with things like ice baths and compression!

What does your nutrition plan look like, other than Whole Supp?

High protein diet and maintaining around 3500 calories a day.

Perfectly balanced between healthy fats, carbs and protein

Whole Supp ensures that Jacob's 3500 calories are from healthy, whole food sources.

So what's your daily routine?

Wake up, swim, gym, Whole Supp shake, lunch, swim, Whole Supp shake, dinner, bed, repeat.
