Profile

Libby Trickett has a novel way of handling attention. Her sunny day smile and infectious laugh almost convince you the fuss over this girl wonder is misplaced. She blithely counts silliness among her character traits – an ironically mature approach when you know the often absurd demands of her very public life.

Her determination has been unquestionable from the day Australian fans were introduced to Libby Lenton (her maiden name). Her swimming dossier is lined with gold and bound by her own world record efforts. It will be exciting seeing Libby embark on her next career after swimming - television presenter for Network Ten and One HD.

Beyond her aquatic life, Libby owns a Medal of the Order of Australia. She has been generous with her celebrity. Once voted Most Popular Sports Star by Dolly magazine’s teen readers, Libby is also an ambassador for the Mater Foundation’s Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Awareness Programme and Variety, the Children’s Charity.
