Poppy’s Story

Poppy Wilson tried many sports; dancing, hockey, gymnastics, cheerleading, and soccer. But has always loved the water and finds it the best place for her.

A rising star in the aquatic realm, Poppy’s training ground is none other than the esteemed Yeronga Park Swimming Club. She started competing as a Para-athlete in 2016 when she was classified, since then it has been a whirlwind of competitions and achievements.

Six months after being classified, Poppy competed at her first short course Australian Nationals, before going on to compete at the World Championships in Manchester in 2023.

With her eyes fixed on the medal, Poppy is determined to achieve her goal times, leaving a trail of inspiration in her wake.

As a learn to swim teacher she hopes to keep encouraging young swimmers to achieve and learn.
