Hi, I was at the Australia women's national water polo team test match against Great Britain this evening. (We won! Yay!) I got an opportunity to talk to one of the Paralympic swimming coaches based at the Australian Institute of Sport. He was talking about how there are three Western Australian swimmers probably going to the Paralympics. One is a sixteen year old who he believes will probably medal in London, and go on to compete in at least the next two Paralympics she is that good.
He said we should be able to easily set it up so a Wikimedian can attend a swimming practice, and take pictures of these future Paralympians who will be probably be going to London. Based on our conversation, I think there is also probably an opportunity to interview the sixteen year old for Wikinews to get the Wikinews component done. ( http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Interview_highlights example interviews on Wikinews.) If you're in Western Australia and might be interested in taking pictures, please get in touch. As this is not around an event, should be a great deal more flexibility in time. I'm not certain of what pool they train in, and can find that if some one is seriously interested. :) Sincerely, Laura Hale -- mobile: 0412183663 twitter: purplepopple blog: ozziesport.com
