She wasn’t done there, claiming bronze in the 200m individual medley, silvery in the women’s 4x100m medley and bronze in the mixed 4x100m medley.

“In 2023 I made a new year’s resolution to journal every single night and it’s something I have continued. I find it so therapeutic putting my feelings, thoughts and accomplishments on paper. It allows me to be in the present moment and appreciate the beauty of my life. Outside of journaling I love to wind down with a bowl of ice cream in hand watching real housewives of Beverly Hills.”

“I often find myself struggling to find wardrobe space. I’ve accumulated far too much swimming gear and gym gear that it’s taken over my everyday clothing. One of my favourite sporting brands is Lululemon – so comfortable and durable! I also love my watch and jewellery collection, my pieces are really sentimental to me. Even when I’m traveling, I always bring one of my OMEGA watches and my special jewellery pieces.”
