There are 22 Paralympic debutants, five of which have never been part of an Australian Team before, but there is also a lot of experience there which will serve us well in Rio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis team will have some great success in Rio but I\u2019m really looking forward to the Tokyo cycle in terms of these newer up-and-coming athletes and what they can do in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2016 Australian Paralympic Swimming Team will head to Alabama, USA for their staging camp on 20 August before the Rio Paralympic Games begin on 7 September, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The swim team is the thirteenth sport announced on the 2016 Australian Paralympic Team, bringing the total number of athletes selected to 118.<\/p>\n<p>2016 Australian Paralympic Swimming Team (click on their names to read their profiles)<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Alford \u2013 Bruce, ACT<\/p>\n<p>Michael Anderson \u2013 Repton, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Aungles \u2013 Bruce, ACT<\/p>\n<p>Emily Beecroft \u2013 Traralgon, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Liam Bekric \u2013 West Croydon, SA<\/p>\n<p>Blake Cochrane \u2013 Scarborough, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Ellie Cole \u2013 Granville, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Rowan Crothers \u2013 Moorooka, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Katja Dedekind \u2013 Kenmore, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Timothy Disken \u2013 Glen Waverley, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Maddison Elliott \u2013 Gilliestone Heights, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Fox \u2013 Cleveland, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Haanappel \u2013 Croydon Hills, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Brenden Hall \u2013 Petrie, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Guy Harrison-Murray \u2013 Buderim, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Timothy Hodge \u2013 Kings Langley, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Tanya Huebner \u2013 Elwood, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Braedan Jason \u2013 Sunshine Coast, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Jenna Jones \u2013 Faulconbridge, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed Kelly \u2013 Brunswick East, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Paige Leonhardt \u2013 Port Macquarie, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Levy \u2013 Northbridge, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy McClure \u2013 Bull Creek, WA<br \/>\nAshleigh McConnell \u2013 Sunbury, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Monique Murphy \u2013 Melbourne, VIC<\/p>\n<p>Lakeisha Patterson \u2013 Caboolture, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Rick Pendleton \u2013 Meridan Plains, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Logan Powell \u2013 Mountain Creek, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Sean Russo \u2013 Revesby, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Liam Schluter \u2013 Minyama, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Madeleine Scott \u2013 Canberra, ACT<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Templeton \u2013 Buderim, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Tiffany Thomas Kane \u2013 Ravenswood, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Rachael Watson \u2013 Manly, QLD<\/p>\n<p>Prudence Watt \u2013 Edgecliff, NSW<\/p>\n<p>Kate Wilson \u2013 Kingscliff, NSW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Paralympic Committee announced the 2016 Paralympic Swim Team.
