Marayke Jonkers was our guest speaker who is a paralympian for Wide Bay . Marakye spoke
encouraging young swimmers to be prepared to compete sometimes against the odds. Be prepared
to put in the hard yards and to not expect perfect conditions in which to reach a goal. Most athletes
achieve their best results with some form of injury, illness or change of conditions. If you wait for the
ideal scenario you might miss an opportunity.
