Early life

Tutton was born in Pontypridd, Wales.[1] Tutton took to swimming on holiday, leading her mother to enroll her in local classes.[2] At age 12, coach Dave Haller recruited her, causing Tutton to move to Cardiff to advance her swimming.[1][2] A bout of glandular fever forced Tutton to take an extended break from swimming at age 16.`

Career

Her first international meet was the 2014 Wales Commonwealth Games where she competed in breaststroke and the 400 metre freestyle, placing sixth in the latter event.[3][4] Following the Commonwealth Games, a dislocated shoulder forced her to take time off from swimming.[2][4] She did not qualify for the British team for the 2015 World Championships.[4]

The 2016 season was Tutton's breakout season as a swimmer.[3] She set a British record in the 200 metre breaststroke at the 2016 British Championships with a time of 2 minutes 22.34 seconds. The record setting time won Tutton the gold medal.[5] Her performance at the competition was just below an automatic qualifying time for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[2] On 21 April 2016 the selectors announced Tutton had made the British swimming team for the then-upcoming Olympics.[2]

At the 2016 European Swimming Championships, Tutton won bronze in the 100 metre breaststroke and placed sixth in the 200 meter breaststroke.[6][7] She was also part of Great Britain's gold medal winning team in the 4 x 100 medley relay.[8]

Tutton finished in fourth place in the 200 metres breaststroke at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[9] She missed earning a place on the podium by 0.06 seconds.[9] Tutton was also part of the British team for the 4 x 100 medley relay, which placed seventh at the games.[10] As of 2016, her swimming coach is Graham Wardell.
