Jo believes her daughter 'would be a top swimmer' regardless. The what-if question, what-if the accident had not happened, has been pondered by the Pascoes. Every so often I'll be sitting here at home and I'll know Garry is thinking about the accident. Wife Jo added: 'It's been tough on Garry. It's definitely something I don't enjoy talking about.' 'I keep the graphic detail to myself I will never share that. 'It can happen while I'm driving along and you just click into it, give a wee bit of a judder and try to put it away again and just carry on.

'I was mowing the raised section of lawn and was in low gear because the surface was a wee bit bumpy. The precautions I took at the time were the right thing to do, but the accident still happened.
