Trapped in darkness
Jade Naylor, 28, Lancashire
As my body sped through the water of our local pool, I blocked out the sound of my dad William, then 27, shouting.
‘Come on, faster!’ he boomed, standing by the edge with his stopwatch, timing each lap.
It was the summer of 1999 and I was 7.
Exhausted and hungry, I’d been in the water for hours.
A Science teacher and swimming instructor, Dad expected a lot from me.
To anyone else at the pool that day, Dad would have seemed just like any other parent, spurring me on.
