对游水运动员何甄陶嚟讲，泳池唔只系训练场，更加似一个「屋企」。佢形容，游水之所以咁重要，并唔系因为某一个改变人生嘅瞬间，而系一路以嚟有身边嘅人陪伴。
「泳池一直都系朋友喺度嘅地方，我好珍惜游水带畀我嘅人。因为呢班人，游水对我嚟讲就好似屋企一样。」由大学游到硕士阶段，再到屋企人同朋友一路支持，佢坦言，如果无呢啲机会同陪伴，自己未必可以行到今日呢一步。

「Swimming has always been a place where my friends were. I love the people that swimming has brought me.」

回顾众多比赛，今届全运会对何甄陶嚟讲别具意义。佢话，其实每一次落水，都系同自己比拼——追求更快、更细致、更完整嘅一场比赛。 而今次可以喺全运会呢个舞台刷新个人最佳成绩（PR），对佢嚟讲系一份好实在嘅肯定，亦证明自己仲喺进步嘅路上。

「At every meet, I’m competing against myself—trying to improve, refine the details, and put together a race that’s faster than any I’ve ever swum before.」

对于全运会，又一次代表香港、同全国最顶尖选手较量嘅机会。今年嘅赛事无论场地、气氛定支援安排，都令佢留下好深印象。 「I appreciated the overall atmosphere. The spectators were supportive, the logistics were very smooth, and the presentations were professional.」

踏入现阶段嘅运动生涯，最大挑战唔再只系强度，而系「恢复」。要长时间维持高水平训练，同时确保身体可以回复，再继续推自己向前，成为每日都要面对嘅课题。点样平衡训练同休息，亦系佢不断学习嘅一部分。

「At this point in my career, I find recovery to be the most significant challenge. Maintaining a high training level and consistently recovering so I can continue pushing myself is a constant focus.」

展望未来，何甄陶已经将目标锁定喺下年嘅亚运会，并开始规划新一季嘅比赛节奏。佢分享，过去一季特别着力改善起跳同水下技术，虽然有进步，但仍然有提升空间。

「As always, I’m constantly refining the details of my race and looking for small areas where I can improve.」

「Make sure you are doing it for yourself.」 训练未必时时都开心，但只要为自己而做，喺过程入面搵到乐趣，珍惜细微进步，同时留低一班好嘅人喺身边，就可以走得更远。
