Biography

[edit]

Early life

[edit]

Remati was born in Sydney, Australia, but grew up in Andover, Massachusetts, United States.[2] She started swimming at a young age and discovered synchronized swimming at age five.[2] She recalled that at the local YMCA, "I saw a competition going on in the main pool and I saw all these sparkly suits and someone flying in the air. I turned to my dad, and I said, 'I want to do that. I want to wear a sparkly suit.' He's like, 'You want to swim.' I'm like, 'No, I just want the sparkly suit.' Eventually, I got to wanting to do the swimming part."[2]

Youth career (2013 – 2022)

[edit]

Remati joined the ANA Synchro swimming club in Andover later that year.[3] She was coached by Pan American Games medalist Leah Pinette and by age 11, she made the U.S. national team for her age group.[3] In 2014, she was a member of the team that won gold in the 12 & Under bracket at the UANA Pan American Synchronized Swimming Championships.[4] She moved to California when she was age 14 to train full-time in the sport.[2] She won the U.S. national championship in both solo and figures artistic swimming in 2016 and 2017.[5] Paired with Anita Alvarez, she won two bronze medals at the 2018 China Open.[6]

Remati competed at the 2019 Pan American Games and won two bronze medals.[5] She won bronze at the 2020 French Open event.[5] She was a member of the U.S. team that narrowly missed qualification for the 2020 Summer Olympics, missing out by a fraction of a point.[7] The U.S. qualified in the duet, with Remati being a substitute in the qualifying tournament, although she did not compete at the Olympics.[8] In 2021, she competed at the FINA Artistic Swimming World Series, placing fourth in two team events and fifth in the duet.[5]

Adult career (2022 – present)

[edit]

Remati enrolled at Ohio State University in 2022, competing for the synchronized swimming team and winning consecutive national championships while being an All-American.[9][10] In 2023, she competed in the duet and team events at the 2023 Pan American Games and won two silver medals.[5] She helped the U.S. team qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics and was selected to compete there.[10]
