Paralympic_NZ_LogoFive of the nine strong team had outstanding performances at the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships and contributed to the biggest medal haul by a NZ Para-Swimming team ever at such an event, 15 medals in total.

The team is headlined by Paralympic stars Sophie Pascoe and Mary Fisher – multi medal winners and world record holders. They are joined by fellow Paralympian and world record holder Nikita Howarth. Both Pascoe and Howarth will be joining the team after competing at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The team also welcomes the return of Paralympian Rebecca Dubber to the international swimming scene after a short break.

The four Paralympians will be joined by 2013 team member Jesse Reynolds. Reynolds will be looking to build on his first international experience at the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships in August.

Four exciting additions to the team are newcomers Georgia Gray, Tayla Clement, Daniel Gaualofa and Chris Arbuthnott. These Para-Swimmers will all make their international debut and look to build on their national experience.
