Diagnosed at 22.
Re-broke his own Scottish Record for the 50m Breaststroke at 24.
While preparing for the Paris Olympics, Archie experienced seizures and numbness, and was ultimately diagnosed with three inoperable brain tumours. He now carries a 10x4cm tumour and two more - including one behind his eye. The kind of diagnosis that ends careers.
Despite all of this, Archie has fought hard to keep training and competing. He has also helped bring Vorasidenib - a game-changing brain tumour drug - to approval, giving hope to countless others facing the same diagnosis. To top it all off, he has recently achieved qualification standards for the 2026 Commonwealth Games. He is the definition of resilience.
One before. One spare.
Every session.
Archie used to suffer from cramp during training. Now he keeps Cramp Killa as a non-negotiable part of his routine - one gel before every session, one kept in reserve. Simple. Effective. Race-ready.
Train harder.
Cramp less.
If it's part of Archie's race-day kit, it can be part of yours.
