Mum tries to make every race that she can.

Every day I try to push the boundaries, and it's paid off.

I was so scared of the water when I was little. I used to grab onto Mum's hand to get out of the pool. I did not even want to shower.

My coach and I thought I could swim a 57.3 if I executed the perfect race, but I did even better than that.

Before competition, I start to question things. I don't know why it happens, but you've got to control it so you don't get too far out of the race.

It hasn't always been a sweet ride. When I was 15, I almost hated racing in finals because I was so nervous. But as I got more experienced, I had to choose between fight and flight - and I've fought every time.
