The 25-year-old will compete in her first long-course competition since the Hong Kong Open Championships last August and hopes to start the season on a high note by meeting the Olympic “A” qualifying standard at Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Centre.
“To be honest, if I can meet the A-cut in this meet, that will be great,” she said of the event during a prize presentation in Hong Kong in January.
“But what draws me there is the high standard, and no more Covid-19 quarantine – it’s a good trial for me to gain more long-course experience.”
