How long have you been with Eastern Sirens?

I have been doing artistic swimming with Eastern Sirens for just over 2 years now.

Why did you join and what do you like about artistic swimming?

I joined artistic swimming because I had been doing gymnastics for the past 5 years and swimming since I was 4 months old. It was an opportunity to combine the two together, as well as make new friends that I see whenever I train. Artistic swimming has built up my confidence and strength, so that’s why I like doing artistic swimming.

What has your journey been like so far? Have there been any challenges?

My journey for artistic swimming hasn’t been too hard, but also hasn’t been easy, but I still really enjoy it. My challenges are trying not to sink, and having a straight leg in my straight-up ballet leg. Another challenge is when I have been doing my duet I have to try and hold my breath for as long as possible for the figures, and it is difficult to do so.

What are you looking forward to this season?

The State Championships have just finished and the National Championships are coming up really soon in Sydney. I haven’t been to Sydney before, so it will be a good experience to train with my team and friends in Sydney, as well see the sights!!
