==Personal life== {{Quote box |align=left |width=25% |quote=It was quite funny, really. I knew the prince played water polo and that he was selected to represent at the 2002 Commonwealth Championships in Manchester. So when I told him what I did, he smiled and bowed. I gave him a book [Water Warriors] and some Australian water polo cossies. He said: 'Oh, bathers' and then someone told him they were also known as budgie smugglers. The prince laughed and from then on he wanted to know all about me, the national team, the Olympics. He didn't want to talk about himself at all. |source=Alicia McCormack<ref name="coached-sharks"/> }} McCormack was born on 7 June 1983 in Helensburgh, New South Wales.<ref name=McCormack-polo-au>{{cite web|url=http://www.australianwaterpolo.com.au/high-performance/senior-women-profiles/profiles/mccormack-alicia/ |title=Australian Water Polo Inc.: McCormack, Alicia |publisher=Australian Water Polo |location=Sydney, Australia |date=20 December 2011 |access-date=3 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318200919/http://www.australianwaterpolo.com.au/high-performance/senior-women-profiles/profiles/mccormack-alicia/ |archive-date=18 March 2012 }}</ref><ref name=named-squad>{{cite web|url=http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/293300/20120206/final-aussie-stingers-olympic-train-squad-announced.htm |title=Final Aussie Stingers Olympic train on Squad Announced |work=International Business Times|date=6 February 2012 |access-date=17 February 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314014813/http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/293300/20120206/final-aussie-stingers-olympic-train-squad-announced.htm |archive-date=14 March 2014 }}</ref><ref name=born-nsw>{{cite news|access-date=3 March 2012|title=ALICIA McCORMACK - 2008 ILLAWARRA MERCURY — NOVOTEL NORTHBEACH SPORTS STAR OF THE YEAR|newspaper=Illawarra Mercury|location=Wollongong, Australia|date=30 January 2009|page=57|id=20090130000030780708|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AUNB:IWMB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=1260948559A14398&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1053B823C33F21F9}}</ref> She is {{convert|168|cm|ftin|0|abbr=on}} tall, weighs {{convert|73|kg}}, is right handed and has a tattoo featuring the Olympic rings.<ref name=McCormack-polo-au/>
