About Carolyn

Born in the island nation to a Singaporean mother and Australian father, Carolyn Rayna Buckle was just 15 when she went to her maiden FINA World Artistic Swimming Championships 2015. She was part of Singapore’s squad in the team event who finished in the top-20 (19th).

At the 2019 FINA World Championships in Korea in July, Carolyn again enjoyed two top-20 results, placing 20th in the team free and 19th in the team technical competitions.

At FINA’s World Series event in April 2019 held in Japan, Carolyn was part of the Singapore contingent finishing 5th in the team technical and 6th in the team free.

After completing her studies at the Methodist Girls School (MGS) in Singapore, Carolyn moved to Australia in 2020 to study for her Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) at Sydney University. A member of the Sydney Emeralds artistic swimming team, she trains at the Cook and Phillip Pool in Hyde Park, NSW.
