Coffs Harbour native Maddie McTernan became a household name after she took home eight medals at the 2019 Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming and Age Championships. Her performance at nationals earned her a Dolphins cap, and her first chance to represent Australia at the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships in London.
In 2020, Maddie broke a world record in the women’s 400m freestyle S14 in 4:35.56 at the 2020 Australian Short Course Championships.
A Paralympic silver medallist, Maddie earned her ticket to Tokyo at the Australian Swimming Trials in Adelaide. At the Tokyo Paralympic Games, she claimed a silver medal in the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay S14 with her teammates Ricky Betar, Benjamin Hance and Ruby Storm.
Join Maddie back at home on the NSW North Coast this November, where she'll feature as a guest speaker at Swimming North Coast's 2022 Para Swimming Development Day.
