Penny's road from remedial gym to the Olympic podium was steep with many curves, including her unprecedented return to synchronized swimming after a 5-year absence where she discovered that everything had changed.

She used those strategies learned to successfully navigate change and she emerged from the fog, re-establishing a successful career and fulfilling personal life, including being a mom.
