Her coach is Maureen O'Toole.[2]
Early life
[edit]Armit was introduced to a modified version of water polo called ‘Flippaball’ when she was ten years old. She showed promise and joined Townsville Water Polo club as a junior.
Achievements
[edit]She debuted for the Australian national team, the Aussie Stingers, in 2013.
A highlight was scoring four goals in a 10-7 win against USA in the group stages of the 2017 FINA World League. She also won bronze at the 2019 FINA World Championships and gold at the 2015 World University Games.[2]
Armit was a member of the Australian Stingrays squad that competed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. By finishing second in their pool, the Aussie Stingers went through to the quarterfinals. They were beaten 8-9 by Russia and therefore did not compete for an Olympic medal.[3]
