Emilie Heymans has won medals in Sydney, Athens and Beijing. London 2012 will be her fourth Olympics. If she wins another medal, she'll become Canada's first summer athlete to stand on the podium at four consecutive Olympic Games.

""You never know what is going to happen the day of the competition, it's quite stressful so you need to relax and realize, ‘It doesn't really matter and focus on the diving and it's going to go well,'" said the international diving star.

Raised in Longueil, Heymans remembered a time when she had a lucky bathing suit. That was until her coach told her to get rid of it.

"I left it at home and I was like, ‘Oh no! What am I going to do? This is bad for sure,'" said Heymans.

"She is an athlete that has a clear mind about what she wants," said trainer Alain Delorme.

Despite spending days in the pool, Heymans doesn't like being in the water.

"My sister was in the water all the time and I would barely put my toe in," said Heymans.

The Olympian will compete on the 3-metre board during the London 2012 games with her synchro diving partner, Jennifer Abel.

"Now that I have a chance to have a medal beside Emilie I'm really excited and of course it will be more stress but I'm really confident about our team," said Abel.

After she is done with her diving career, Heymans plans to launch her own swimsuit line. She visited the office of Shan, a Laval-based bathing suit firm, with CTV News.

"To still have a company like this in Laval is awesome," said Heymans. "I've tried so many bathing suits in my life and I know what's comfortable."

Heymans has a degree in merchandising, a skill set she says will be useful to start her own company.

"She has the same vision as us. She wants to put a lot of quality in her work and makes no compromise to achieve her goals," said Jean-Francois Sigouin, the vice president of Laval-based Shan.

The Olympian had this advice for people looking to compete in the future: "Its hard to make the better times better, never give up and try to give it your best."
