I have been swimming for about 5 years. I swim at the Whangārei Aquatic Centre and train most days of the week. I like swimming and really enjoy competing which drives me to do better. At AIMS GAMES 2022 I had 4 personal bests in 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 50 butterfly, and 100 individual medley.

I have been competitive swimming for 4 and a half years and have switched clubs 3 times. I now swim with Northwave. I train with my coach, Monica, and I train 5 days a week. I train for about 9  hours a week. Something I like about swimming is my breaststroke which is my best stroke, then backstroke, and I also love swimming with my friends.

At AIMS Games 2022 I did 11 swims and got 9 personal bests in the 100 individual medley, 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke, 200 individual medley, 200 backstroke, 200 freestyle, 100 backstroke, and 100 breaststroke. I am proud of myself.
