23.01.2022 We celebrate our swimmers with a disABILITY everyday, but today we celebrate their dedication to the sport, commitment to training, and love of swimming even mo...re! UQ Swim Club has 10 Nationally/Internationally classified athletes within our squads, with physical and/or intellectual impairments. Our 10 MultiClass swimmers are Australian Dolphins; they are World Para Swimming World Record Holders; they are Inas Global Games Athletes; they rule the pool in Brisbane, QLD, Australian and International Special Olympics Events; they are entrenched in ground breaking high needs Cerebral Palsy Muscle Research at The University of Queensland; they are Brisbane Swimming, Swimming Queensland, Swimming Australia competitors, and they are Masters Swimming Australia swimmers ~ but most of all, THEY ROCK! Shout out also to the Mums, Dads and Carers who stick to the routine of swimming training, particularly during the hard times!
