Michaela Philippi

She began swimming at age two and started to compete at age seven in Brno, Czech Republic. "I remember that I did not want to jump into the water. The pool was five meters deep and I had the feeling that there are sharks at the bottom."

At age two her mother began to exercise with her in the water as a part of her rehabilitation.
