Gialamas was encouraged to try swimming by her coach Glen O'Sullivan, and she quickly found that she felt free in the water because she did not have to wear braces and was not sitting in a chair. She was born with arthrogryposis, which affects the use of joints and muscles, but that has not stopped her.
