Apart from the coronavirus\u2019s three months break, Natalia also missed training for the same period at the end of last year due to unavoidable reasons.<\/p>\n

She said she is very happy to get the opportunity to train with the US-based club, Swimfast and that she is ready to work very hard to attain the desired standards.<\/p>\n

Natalia is a holder of five national records she inked in 2019.<\/p>\n
