Katarzyna Kulesza [national]; Karine Dore [national]

She took up the sport in 2002 at age eight in Calgary, AB, Canada. (claudiaholzner.com, 27 May 2020; olympic.ca, 01 Jan 2014)

She first became aware of artistic swimming after watching the sport at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. She initially took part in gymnastics but switched to artistic swimming in 2002. "It is such an artistic sport. I love being able to perform for the audiences and feel the support from the crowd. It has given me the freedom to create. Compared to gymnastics, it's nicer to land on your face in the water than on the beam." (olympic.ca, 26 Jul 2015; synchro.ca, 30 Oct 2012; talismancentre.com, 29 Sep 2012)
