In the Pool
Aspirations Hopefully a medal in 2012 but always looking for World Championship status
Training Regime Trains with partner Olivia and the rest of the synchro team of 12.
Who has been greatest influence on you My eldest sister Tia
Most surprising thing that happened to me Competing in the 2006 Commonwealth Games and getting a silver
When did you begin swimming Started swimming at the age of 2 and got my bronze/silver/gold awards by the age of six
When did you begin synchro At the age of 7 at Farnborough Rushmoor Club. My sister Tia was doing synchro and it looked a lot more fun than lane swimming. I liked all the tumbleturns!
Out of the Pool
Family Members Both my sisters have represented Britain - my oldest sister Tia is now retired but my younger sister Asha is in the National squad with me
Studies Full time athlete
Other sports I was a dancer but it was either synchro or dancing. I was sad to give up the dancing but maybe later on I’ll go back to it.
Ultimate Relaxation Lying in a hot bath listening to music and closing my eyes!
One thing you can’t live without My blackberry
Last book read Lance Armstrong - Without the Bike
Tip for the top Work Hard - Talent isn’t Everything!
Life after swimming Hope to maybe get back into dance or get into Event Management
How would you like to be remembered Someone who achieved everything she could
