About Emily

After discovering the sport of Artistic Swimming during the broadcast of the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games, Emily Rogers was inspired to try a sport that combined her passion for both dancing and swimming.

Emily moved from Queensland to Victoria as a child and joined her first junior team at the Golden Fish Synchronised Swimming Club in Footscray, VIC.

The club provided Emily the perfect foundation to build her skills and confidence in the sport, with her coaches constantly pushing her to train hard and achieve her best.

She showed her enormous potential when she qualified for the national squad two years after starting the sport, and after only four years in the sport she successfully qualified for her debut Olympic Games through the FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia in 2015.

As an 18-year-old, and the youngest member of the team, Emily competed at her first Olympic Games at Rio 2016.

In the team event Emily helped the Aussies achieve an eighth-place result with 75.4333 in the free routine and 74.0667 in the technical.

In 2018 she uprooted her life in Melbourne and moved to Perth, WA for training - a move she considered extremely challenging.

However, the move paid off for Emily, when she helped Australia qualify for the Tokyo Olympics at the 2019 World Championships.

Emily made her second Olympic appearance at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The Aussie squad placed a respectable 9th overall in the tournament, with a technical routine score of 75.6351 and free routine score of 77.3667, earning them a total of 153.0018.

She also partnered up with Amie Thompson to compete in the duet discipline. The pair achieved a technical score of 75.5343 and a free score of 76.3667 for a total of 151.9010, 20th place overall.
