General Interest

General
FROM ARKANSAS TO LOUGHBOROUGH
She moved from the University of Arkansas in the United States of America to train at British Swimming's National Centre in Loughborough, England in March 2020. She was unable to finish her final season at the US university due to the COVID-19 pandemic but had planned to move back to England in the summer regardless. "Once I graduated if things had gone well and I had made the Olympic [2020 Games in Tokyo] team, the plan after that was to train at Loughborough at the National Centre. That was always the plan after Arkansas. Now my permanent base will be in Loughborough." (swimswam.com, 17 Apr 2020)

After graduating from the University of Bath in 2018, she began studying a master's in kinesiology with a swimming scholarship at the University of Arkansas in the United States of America later that year.
