Hello everyone ☺️

I have some news to share with you.

I've decided to retire from competitive swimming ?

It has been a long journey coming to my decision and it has been some somewhat an emotional ride. Although it is hard and difficult to say goodbye to something I love so much, then it is also equally exciting and thrilling to think about a new chapter is about to unfold in my life.

I don't know yet how this new chapter will look like, but I'm taking the plunge and believing life's got me and I will find my way to something meaningful and exciting just like swimming has been to me.

I'm so grateful for everything swimming has taught me, for the people who helped me achieve my wildest dreams, for meeting people across the globe and making friends, for learning to dream big, for getting to know myself even better and for all the incredible experiences I had throughout the years.

Swimming will always have a special place in my heart and I will follow the world of swimming closely, but this time from the pool deck.

Thank you for all the support ❤️
