Down Syndrome World Swim Champs

The Lunch Break had the opportunity of talking to one of the mum's of the Downs Syndrome South African Swimming Team. The team has made history at the 8th edition of the Down Syndrome World Swim Champs- bringing home 3 gold, 8 silver, 7 bronze. 7th on Medal table with only 9 swimmers and that's without the regional records yet. However, there were Africa records. Minke needs acknowledgement as the youngest member of our whole team plus the youngest overall at the meet. Melisa o Neill (married to Sean) equalled the 400 m and now shares with with Jenna also part of SA Team. All swimmers attained personal best times.
