She was, and after landing the lead role, Godecki was able to sharpen up her swimming skills and learn how to scuba dive at the Ocean Girl location,[2] Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, Australia.
She originally hoped after the last season of Ocean Girl to secure a place at University in Australia in veterinary science owing to her love of animals.
She has a son called Nico — born in July 2008 — and ran the children's fashion store Tiny Threads in Melbourne, together with her business partner Melanie Tsoukas, from 2008 to 2012.
Before Godecki was selected for the role of Neri in Ocean Girl for her graceful style of underwater swimming, she was a student in Melbourne where she studied modern dance and ballet.
Godecki was also a regular extra on the 1992 series of Round the Twist, appearing and sitting next to Linda in school scenes, but never is heard speaking.
