Our Swimmers Prepare For Final Foray

The 10th and final day of Para-swimming action at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre features 11 Dolphins set to compete across butterfly, freestyle, individual medley and relay events.

After swimming in the Women’s 100m Backstroke (S10) final on Thursday night, Jasmine Greenwood returns to the pool for the Women’s 200m Individual Medley (SM10).

Having already won a silver medal in the Women’s 100m Butterfly (S10), Greenwood will also line up with USC Spartan athlete and 100m breaststroke (SB9) bronze medallist, Keira Stephens. Even though the pair is ranked inside the top 10, their competitors from the Netherlands are on fire at this meet, meaning it’s going to be a fight to the finish.

Having placed a highly commendable fifth in the Men’s 100m Freestyle (S12), dual Paralympian Braedan Jason will battle it out in the Men’s 100m Butterfly (S12), while Victorian VCE student and now Paralympic bronze medallist, Col Pearse, will take to the pool for the Men’s 200m Individual Medley (S10).

South Australia’s Jesse Aungles also completes his program on Friday when he tackles the Men’s 100m Butterfly (S8). After setting a number of personal best times during the Games across multiple events, Aungles will strive to cap his Games with more positive momentum.
