"When I was small, my parents tried to give my energy an outlet. I did so many things, like ballroom dancing, basketball and swimming in kindergarten. But I was a sickly child. Mum was advised to take me to the pool more often to improve my health and I really loved to swim and got seriously engaged in it. At age 10, a choice arose between ballroom dancing and swimming. I think it's clear what I chose. I have always enjoyed swimming and have never regretted that I connected my life with it." (zviazda.by, 14 Aug 2020; Athlete, 12 Feb 2020)
