Sporting Career Highlight
Making the 2020 Swimming Australia Para Development squad and attending the camp
“If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.”
Isabella Vincent was the youngest athlete on the Australian Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Team at just fifteen.
Born with sacral agenisis cuadral regression syndrome, she found her love of swimming through hydrotherapy. After being encouraged from her hydrotherapist, Isabella began to participate in Norwood Swimming Club’s ENable program, a multi-class program for swimmers with a disability. She began to train under head coach Shaun Curtis and Alana Fuller, and instantly fell in love with the sport.
At the 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships Isabella dominated her events, claiming 5 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 1 bronze medal.
While Paris 2024 was her ultimate goal, Isabella defied her own expectations by securing a ticket to Tokyo 2020 at the 2021 Australian Swimming Trials in front of her home crowd in Adelaide.
At Tokyo 2020, she claimed a silver medal in the Women’s 4x100m freestyle relay (34 points), while taking a bronze medal in the women’s 4x100m medley relay (34 points).
