Overall winners Team England.Langland Cup overall female champion.Bio:"When I was 14, I started lifesaving in New Zealand in the ocean and beach events, as I came from a competitive swimming and athletics background. In 2010, I discovered pool lifesaving and fell in love with it. In 2018 I started racing for Crawley Town and have won many UK titles and held the British Record in the 100m Manikin Carry. To date, I have raced at 3 world champs (2014,2016 & 2018) and other international competitions for lifesaving and competitive swimming. My best achievements so far are 2 bronze medals at World Champs, World Champs A & B finals and international medals and records in Great Britain, New Zealand, Germany, The Netherlands, Australia, and Slovenia. I am excited to be a part of Team England because I love lifesaving and racing amongst friends. There is so much support and the skills I have learned have helped save people’s lives".
