Dylan (20) and James (16) are brothers from Geelong who compete as swimmers with hearing impairment (S15) at a State, National and International level. They are both moderate to severely hearing impaired.


The boys have been selected by Deaf Swimming Australia to represent Australia at the 6th Deaf World Swimming Championships in Argentina in August 2023 and to fulfil this dream, require the support of all to get them there as this is a fully self funded trip for Australian Deaf Swimmers competing.


By donating to this worthy cause and supporting swimmers with disabilities, these donations will allow the 2 brothers to compete for Australia as well as their Geelong community with pride.
