Hey, I’m Yvonne, but you can call me Yvo

I’m a 19-year-old professional swimmer from Latvia with over 200 medals. They call me a real-life mermaid — long dark hair, icy blue eyes, and a body sculpted by years in the water.

My biggest dream is to swim across the English Channel, just like Diana Nyad. To prepare, I’ve started brutal winter swimming. I’ve already crossed a freezing 10 km bay… and honestly, the feeling of ice-cold water on my skin turns me on more than I can explain

When I’m not training, I’m probably watching movies or series (ask me for recommendations anytime).

Right now I’m studying to become a swim coach. My ultimate goal? I want to train future champions.

Cool facts about me:
1) I have a huge, detailed mermaid tattoo covering my entire left arm — my spirit animal and lucky charm
2) I can hold my breath underwater for nearly 3 minutes (imagine what else I can do that long 😏)
3)I’m addicted to adrenaline — the higher the risk, the calmer I feel
