Special Olympics Swimming!

Nine talented swimmers from Wānaka proudly represented the Otago Special Olympics Club at the Gore Tier 1 competition. The team travelled together and enjoyed an overnight stay, fostering team spirit.

Each swimmer showcased their dedication by competing in their chosen events, which they trained for in the lead up, under the guidance of coach Angela Rye from QLDC Swim School.

With 32 swimmers, 4 coaches and 12 volunteers from all around the South Island, this event was a fantastic opportunity for these athletes to demonstrate their skills, and push themselves in a competitive environment.

It was a great opportunity for connecting with other athletes outside Wānaka. A big thank you to parents who travelled to cheer on swimmers, as well as Michael and Kate Sidey for their sponsorship.
