Massive well done to Livi Wickham from our Academy Gold squad for some brilliant racing at the Deaf Nationals last weekend. For her age group and disability category she came 4th in the backstroke, 5th in the freestyle and 5th in the breaststroke (she also finished 3rd in the butterfly but got DQ’d). Livi smashed her personal best in every race and really gave it her all!
