Bay & Basin Amateur Swim Club [Shoalhaven, NSW, AUS]

In 2018 she was involved in a scooter accident, which resulted in abrasions to her face and shoulder. She was unable to swim for two weeks, but returned to the pool just in time for the trials ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games. (southcoastregister.com.au, 08 Feb 2019)

She tried a number of sports as a child, including swimming, cross-country running and dancing. In 2014 she decided to apply for classification to take part in Para swimming after joining the Bay & Basin Amateur Swim Club in Shoalhaven, NSW, Australia. (southcoastregister.com.au, 08 Feb 2019, 21 Jul 2015)

She decided to focus on swimming over other sports because it was low-impact, as she had experienced pain in her left knee. Swimming was also recommended by her doctor as a form of therapy, and by Bob McEvoy, who became her coach. "Then I started really liking it. I also liked the competition." (southcoastregister.com.au, 08 Feb 2019, 21 Jul 2015; paralympic.org.au, 01 Sep 2019)

Classification
S10, SB9, SM10 (IPC, 11 Mar 2021)

Origin of Impairment
Acquired (paralympic.org.au, 01 Sep 2019; southcoastregister.com.au, 21 Jul 2015)

Impairment Details
Her impairment is the result of two strokes caused by acute appendicitis and septic shock in 2011, and primarily affects the left side of her body. (paralympic.org.au, 01 Sep 2019; southcoastregister.com.au, 21 Jul 2015)

General
BUSHFIRE IMPACT
Her family were severely affected by the Australian bushfires in early 2020, losing much of their property. "This year [2020] has been incredibly tough on me and my family. At the start of this year, we lost about 90 per cent of our property to the bushfires. I stayed at home to help defend with my family before heading to the Australian Institute of Sport for some much-needed training." (southcoastregister.com.au, 07 May 2020)

COVID-19 IMPACT
After the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo were postponed she said she believed the additional year would help her preparations for the Games. "Even though I was set on hopefully competing at this year's Games [in 2020], I think an extra year of training and developing, as I'll be 16 then, will definitely be a benefit and improve my chances. This time has also made me mentally stronger, as it's been difficult to stay motivated at times." (southcoastregister.com.au, 07 May 2020)

Milestones

At age 13 she was the youngest athlete from any sport to represent Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia. (paralympic.org, 14 Feb 2019)
