When Gabrielle Boisvert first started Synchro, she was scared of water. Years later, in 2015, the athlete was selected for the Senior National Team. In between, the SychroElite swimmer competed as a 13-15 National Team member in 2009. Boisvert also took part in not one, but three US Opens (2011, 2012, 2013), including one where she won a silver medal in solo. Gabrielle says these events as well as the 2015 FINA World Championships in Kazan, RUS are the highlights of her career so far.
