Swimming has been the biggest part of my life for the past 10 years but it is time to listen to my heart and move on. I am obviously disappointed I didn\u2019t get to have my shot at the Olympic Games, but I am so proud of everything else I have achieved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am so grateful my career allowed me to travel the world and meet so many amazing people along the way. To represent both Great Britain and the Isle of Man on a world stage is something I will never forget. I couldn\u2019t have achieved any of this without my family, friends, coaches, staff and sponsors in Loughborough, Plymouth and on the Isle of Man. Thank you for all the memories \u2665\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t wait to start my next chapter training to be a Physician Associate at St George\u2019s Medical School in London?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDjuSiopXg7\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDjuSiopXg7\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Advertising: Shop At Swim360<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/ads.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/absolutebm.aspx?b=1546\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three-time British 50 fly champion Charlotte Atkinson has announced her retirement from the pool and will now train for a career as a physician associate in London.
