對游水運動員何甄陶嚟講，泳池唔只係訓練場，更加似一個「屋企」。佢形容，游水之所以咁重要，並唔係因為某一個改變人生嘅瞬間，而係一路以嚟有身邊嘅人陪伴。
「泳池一直都係朋友喺度嘅地方，我好珍惜游水帶畀我嘅人。因為呢班人，游水對我嚟講就好似屋企一樣。」由大學游到碩士階段，再到屋企人同朋友一路支持，佢坦言，如果無呢啲機會同陪伴，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.」

回顧眾多比賽，今屆全運會對何甄陶嚟講別具意義。佢話，其實每一次落水，都係同自己比拼——追求更快、更細緻、更完整嘅一場比賽。 而今次可以喺全運會呢個舞台刷新個人最佳成績（PR），對佢嚟講係一份好實在嘅肯定，亦證明自己仲喺進步嘅路上。

「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.」

對於全運會，又一次代表香港、同全國最頂尖選手較量嘅機會。今年嘅賽事無論場地、氣氛定支援安排，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.」

踏入現階段嘅運動生涯，最大挑戰唔再只係強度，而係「恢復」。要長時間維持高水平訓練，同時確保身體可以回復，再繼續推自己向前，成為每日都要面對嘅課題。點樣平衡訓練同休息，亦係佢不斷學習嘅一部分。

「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.」

展望未來，何甄陶已經將目標鎖定喺下年嘅亞運會，並開始規劃新一季嘅比賽節奏。佢分享，過去一季特別著力改善起跳同水下技術，雖然有進步，但仍然有提升空間。

「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.」 訓練未必時時都開心，但只要為自己而做，喺過程入面搵到樂趣，珍惜細微進步，同時留低一班好嘅人喺身邊，就可以走得更遠。
