National league:

Australian Water Polo League [AUS] (waterpoloaustralia.com.au, 26 Jul 2019)

She began playing water polo in Townsville, QLD, Australia. (drummoynewaterpolo.com.au, 09 Oct 2019)

Her parents encouraged her to try several different sports. "A lot of children get pigeonholed into just one activity. By trying a variety of things, you get to find out what you really like or don't like. I was into surf lifesaving, basketball, rowing, netball and football. It was only when I was in year 11 or 12, and started to make the national squad for water polo, that I focused on the one sport." (drummoynewaterpolo.com.au, 09 Oct 2019)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (drummoynewaterpolo.com.au, 09 Oct 2019)

In the run-up to competitions she does 13 two-hour training sessions a week. (drummoynewaterpolo.com.au, 09 Oct 2019)

Philosophy:

"A good player can be short or tall, that is not an issue as long as you are strong and a good swimmer. Skills can be learnt and it's about putting the time in for practice. Practice makes perfect." (drummoynewaterpolo.com.au, 09 Oct 2019)
