Calm in the Pool

She finds peace in swimming. "When I'm in the pool I feel calm because everything is quite quiet. It's something I'm good at doing and people are positive around it, rather than it being a negative, which is nice," she shared.

Memorable Achievement

One of her most memorable moments came at the 2024 British Championships in London. She won gold in the multi-class 100m butterfly with an S14 joint world-record time. This achievement highlights her dedication and skill.
