PARALYMPIC SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENT

5 VIS swimmers have been nominated to the Australian Paralympic Committee for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games

After some outstanding performances at the 2016 Australian Swimming Championships, 5 VIS athletes have been nominated to the Australian Paralympic Committee for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
 
Australia has competed in swimming at every Summer Paralympic Games, winning a total of 391 medals – 119 gold. This proud tradition of success looks to continue at the Rio Games which will take place from 7 – 16 September 2016.
 
The squad has a great mix of youth and experience, with London 2012 Paralympians Ahmed Kelly and Tanya Huebner nominated alongside rising stars Timothy Disken, Ashleigh McConnell and Monique Murphy.
 
The Aussie swimmers have thrown a warning sign out to the rest of the world this week, breaking three World Records and showing they have a lot more left to give when Rio comes around.
