Biography
Started: She began swimming in 2013 in Soledar, Ukraine. (freeradio.com.ua, 23 Apr 2024, 05 Oct 2023) Reason: Her parents took her to a swimming pool after her rehabilitation. "As my mother told me, when we first came to the pool, she was still talking to the director and my future first trainer Tetyana Morozova. They put me on the side, and I just splashed in the water. I had neither a ring floaty nor swim arm. I fell into that pool and just started splashing - that's how the water was 'calling' me. I really liked it, I think it's my element." (freeradio.com.ua, 05 Oct 2023) Ambition: To compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. (freeradio.com.ua, 05 Oct 2023)
