ABOUT ATHLETES

Petra made her debut with solo performance on international competition in UAE. She was only 7 years old, but she was competing in 12 and under category, with experienced girls four or even five years older than her. Petra was 4th in that competition being only 4 months into this sport. Today, being on the club's squad team, her friend Polina is preparing a serious solo performance, that should earn her new golds next season.


These two girls are making their school teachers (and most certainly their families) very proud, and they are also the stars of the biggest private artistic swimming club of Russia with over 45 branches throughout the country. Standing back to back, swimming millimeters close to each other, training over 22 hours per week, these two athletes have won first places in solo, duets, in team competitions such as Moscow Artistic Swimming Cup, biggest event in the industry, in St. Petersburg Laguna Cup.


Petra and Polina being only 10 years old, together hold 7 gold and 16 silver medals in the sport. Petra is 3 days older than Polina, and both girls are eager to turn 12, as that's the only thing that holds them back from getting the top athletic rank - master of sports. Technically they already have the necessary amount of points.
