Why this sport?
Her parents encouraged her to start swimming to improve her fitness. She was then spotted by an artistic swimming coach. "I was not very strong when I was young, that was why my mother took me to swim. Around 1997 Macau planned on forming a synchronised swimming team. I can dance and swim so the coach selected me."
