Tell us about your favourite training session and discipline?
My favourite session is irons as it incorporates a little bit of everything and allows you to challenge all your skills in the surf. I have always loved the board leg of an iron as well as nice long transition runs
Fuelling your body would be important for big days of training and racing. Do you have any go to meals or snacks to get you through long days?
Sushi is always my go too on race day as well as lots of fruits and always some lollies
What Kozii do you like to wear? Do you prefer prints or plains? Do you have specific Kozii’s you like to wear at the beach or pool?
The elite bind used to be my favourite however recently the new Rubii one pieces have become my favourite. I love wearing either style in the surf, at the pool and for racing.
How do you feel when you wear Kozii swimwear?
I feel comfy and confident in my Kozii’s and love that I can do a full hard training session without having to worry about my swimmers. It stays in place for a full session even in the biggest of surf. The fun colours and patterns motivate me to train every day.
Describe Kozii Swimwear in three words:
- Comfy
- Durable
- Fun

In the pool and in the surf at Burleigh Surf Club

To many to count. A plain in almost every colour of the rainbow and so many fun prints.

If you could give any other girls some words of wisdom about training hard and chasing their goals what would it be?
If you love what you do and are prepared to work hard then you can achieve anything. Find a great squad of people who you love training with because it makes the early mornings and long sessions so much easier.
