General
OTHER ACTIVITIES
She has found an innovative way to promote synchronised swimming, as part of the Beckenham-based Aquabatix squad - a company that provides synchronised swimming for events and advertising purposes. As a result, video of her has been projected on to giant screens during the finale of Kylie Minogue concerts, while she also appeared at the wedding of British comedian David Walliams. "It was very different to my usual day to day training," she said of the Kylie concert footage. "We had to make numerous shapes and simple movements that looked effective on the screen. We spent many hours in the tank getting everything to look perfect." (dailymail.co.uk, 21 Jun 2011)
