The Australian team comprises three swimmers from NSW: Lucy Dumitrescu, Daniel Rumsey and Brendon Foley. It is fantastic to see swimmers with Down syndrome swimming against other swimmers with Down Syndrome from all around the world - a completely level playing field.
The competition will be fierce with more countries competing each time, and world records will be broken. Please wish them luck.
