When she first joined Kingston Y Penguins Aquatic Club she feared the water because she was unable to swim. "I cried because I was afraid and wanted to make myself do it.

Impairment Details
She was born with cerebral palsy, which affects all four of her limbs. She also has dystonia in her right arm and both legs, a neurological condition which causes involuntary muscle contractions. "The combination of both of them [both conditions], I get spasms in my right arm that can be a bit of a struggle when it comes to swimming, because I use my arms so much. My legs are just sort of there to keep my hips up, but they don't really give much." (swimming.ca, Sep 2016; theglobeandmail.com, 09 Aug 2015; thewhig.com, 05 Aug 2019)
