Where It All Started

Always loved the water since learning to swim as a toddler. I really got into swimming after watching the 2016 Olympics, and that inspired me to join a swimming club and start competing.

The Journey Nobody Sees

Training hard, racing, and learning from both the good swims and the disappointing ones have shaped me into the athlete I am today. My coaches, teammates and family have also played a big part by supporting me and pushing me to keep improving. Swimming has taught me to work hard, stay determined and always try to be better than I was yesterday.

Your Greatest Moments

Breaking Zac Stubblety-Cook’s Australian 13 Years Age Record in the 200m breaststroke at the 2026 Australian Age Championships.

Beyond the Sport

Outside the pool, I enjoy surfing and spending time at Sandon Point Surf Life Saving Club.
