She often went swimming with her family. One day her sister jumped off the diving tower so her mother looked up the sport on the internet and they soon joined a local club. "It came through my sister. My parents used to go to the swimming pool with her and our three older brothers every Sunday. And because the brothers wanted to jump off the 3m board, so of course the little sister wanted that too. Since my sister enjoyed it, my mother looked for a club on the internet and took her to a training session. I was younger than her, I couldn't stay at home alone, so then I also came with her."
