Anika is an eleven-year-old girl who is part of an all-girls boarding swimming academy. She is always seen wearing a purple long-sleeved rashie with a shooting star on it, a pair of indigo long-sleeved togs with gold stars on them, a pink long-sleeved full-body wetsuit, a pair of light purple swimming goggles, a pair of violet rubber gloves, a fuchsia swimming cap with yellow star patterns on it, a pair of blue flippers, a pair of black nose-clips and a pink snorkel. She has 4 other girls in her class named Beatrice, Chloe, Denver and Ellie, who are all eleven years old like her. Anika is very friendly, but she often gets timid at times. She is very good at holding her breath.
