My sister, Jackie, started the gossip that tweaked my curiosity and then there was no turning back, I had to find out if it was true. She was at university in our local city, still living at home to keep costs down. As well as her hours spent attending lectures she was into swimming and regularly went to training and competitions. I got roped in occasionally as a taxi service and usually stayed to cheer her on at race meets. The first race weekend of her second year was a home match against the nearest university so her team were desperate to win.
