Noah Lyles might have bought a new house after his engagement to Junelle Bromfield but some of its amenities are proving tough for his fiancé to cope with.
Jamaican sprinter Junelle Bromfield and her fiancé Noah Lyles moved into a new house following their engagement and the new surrounding has come with its challenges.
From having to decorate a bigger space to trying to turn a coffee machine into a chocolate machine, Bromfield has been at it, succeeding in some, while failing in others.
Now, her next challenge is swimming. The new house, which Lyles bought just days after proposing to her, came with an indoor swimming pool but his wife-to-be still does not know how to swim.

‘It failed me’ - Junelle Bromfield embarrassed after breaking rules in new house with fiancé Noah Lyles
Noah Lyles’ fiancé Junelle Bromfield was gutted after taking a big risk in the couple’s new house only for it to backfire on her.
Expressing her frustration, Bromfield told her social media followers that she is considering taking lessons as she cannot continue watching on as the facility ‘goes to waste.’
“Suspect has a pool and can’t swim,” she first posted on TikTok before going on to express a challenge that she feels most Jamaicans like her face.
“I grew up going to the river regularly so I find it funny that I still can’t swim. I need to start taking lessons,” she added.
Bromfield is not alone when it comes to athletes who cannot swim as Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon also expressed her desire to learn swimming recently.
“All athletes have something that exists outside their comfort zone. For me, that’s swimming,” Kipyegon told Nike in October.
“I remember in 2011 when I was in Punta Umbria for the youth international cross-country championships. I met with my team at one of the local lakes to celebrate.

'I’m not sure I want to do track anymore'- Junelle Bromfield uncertain about her future in athletics
Junelle Bromfield considered quitting track and field amid backlash from Jamaican fans and has yet to give the way forward in terms of her track career.
“I looked down at the water, believing it was this shallow pool. I jumped in. The next thing I knew, the water was up to my ears, and I couldn’t hear anything. Swimming is the one thing I wish I was better at.”
For Bromfield, the lessons will be perhaps easy given she will be doing it at the comfort of her house and her fans will surely be following on the progress.
