Training at the Australian Institute of Sport,[2] van Lint swam in the heats, before the team of Susie O'Neill, Giaan Rooney, Kirsten Thomson and Petria Thomas trailed the United States team home in the final.

Following the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, van Lint completed a Bachelors in Arts and a Masters in International Studies at the University of Sydney, while competing and training with the University of Sydney club.

In 2013 van Lint completed a Certificate IV in Photoimaging, and now freelances as a photographer in Sydney and internationally. Her broad travel and volunteer experiences, and her recent work with indigenous groups at the Aurora Project has positioned her to focus her photographic work around humanitarian issues, frequently working with not for profit organisations in Australia and internationally.
