Lisa Curry has shared a touching tribute to her daughter Jaimi Kenny, 11 months after she tragically passed away.

WATCH Lisa Curry returns to her first love - swimming

The former Olympic swimmer's eldest child, whom she shared with ex-husband Grant Kenny, died last September aged 33 following a private battle with a long-term illness.

Lisa took to Instagram over the weekend to commemorate her daughter's death.

The mother-of-three shared never-before-seen family photos from the 1990s when she was a competitive swimmer.

"Remembering our Jaimi... Remembering the fun times we had together in our swimming days," she wrote.

"Jaimi pretty much came everywhere with us and was like our little mascot. Everyone’s favourite little girl," Lisa wrote.

"11 months ago today you left this world. We miss you baby."

The fifteen-time Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer also uploaded a sweet photo of Jaimi standing by the edge of the pool after a race.

The 59-year-old paid tribute to Jaimi, who would have turned 34 in July, by creating a special memorial garden.

"4 months ago, the doctor gave us the news we had dreaded for years, that Jaimi would not survive the night. It was like they just ripped our hearts out," Lisa revealed at the start of January of the harrowing moment she lost her oldest child.

"Total disbelief... and even though we had prepared ourselves for the worst for weeks, months and even years and thought we were prepared... nothing... absolutely nothing prepares you for that moment or those words."

Lisa, who married second husband Mark Tabone in 2018, also shares two other children with ex Grant Kenny - daughter Morgan and son Jett.

She's also the proud grandmother to two young boys, Flynn and Taj.
