From one country to another, Sofie Sjoberg’s dream of swimming at the next level never wavered.

Born and raised in Sweden, gymnastics was her first sport as she started doing it at a very young age. Sjoberg then started swimming at the age of 12 because her older brother was swimming at the time and she wanted to try it. Both sports were time consuming, so she was forced to choose one, which ultimately ended up being swimming.

“When I decided to quit gymnastics at 15 years old, I knew swimming was what I was going to do for a while,” Sjoberg said.
