Tupou Neiufi<br />
Para-Swimming Athlete<br />
Tupou Neiufi is one of our youngest <strong>P2P</strong> athletes at only<br />
14 years of age. The eldest of 7 children, she lives in<br />
Mangere and attends Otahuhu school. She has overcome<br />
huge adversity having been hit by a speeding car at the<br />
age of 2, and warned that she may never regain any<br />
mobility.<br />
Tupou is an avid swimmer and holds NZ Open and Junior<br />
Records for the 100m Backstroke.<br />
Tupou has free access to local pool facilities at the<br />
Moana-Nui-a Kiwa Leisure Centre (negotiated by Aktive’s<br />
<strong>P2P</strong> team). The facility has greatly valued Tupou training<br />
at the centre and see her as part of their team and an<br />
inspiration to the local community.
