"I grew up around the ocean. My house is right next to a lagoon and my parents always encouraged me and my brother to swim when we were younger. It wasn't until I was eight that my mum found a swim club, and as soon as I started competing I knew it was something that I wanted to continue." (TheCoconetTV YouTube channel, 13 Jul 2019)
