The team is headlined by an impressive line-up of 5 Paralympians that combined have competed at 9 Paralympic Games and 11 World Para Swimming Championships.<\/p>\n<p>This experienced group includes New Zealand\u2019s most decorated Paralympian<strong> Sophie Pascoe<\/strong> (QEII Swim Club), triple Paralympic gold medallist <strong>Cameron Leslie<\/strong> (Whangarei) and Rio 2016 Paralympic debutants <strong>Tupou Neiufi<\/strong> (Howick Pakuranga Swim Club), <strong>Hamish McLean<\/strong> (Wanaka Swim Club) and <strong>Jesse Reynolds<\/strong> (Fairfield Swim Club). They will be joined by Para swimmers <strong>Chris Arbuthnott<\/strong> (Icebreakers Aquatics) and <strong>Celyn Edwards<\/strong> (Selwyn Swim Club)<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Malcolm Humm<\/strong>\u00a0(PNZ High Performance Director) said,\u00a0\u201cWe\u00a0are thrilled with the quality of the Team\u00a0we have announced today with 5 Paralympians and 2 further Para swimmers with extensive international experience. The Championships will provide an opportunity to test ourselves against full competition with over 600 competitors from 60 nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continues, \u201cWith the New Zealand Para Swimming Team not competing at the 2017 edition due to its postponement the last Championships where New Zealand Para swimmers competed was in 2015 in Glasgow where the New Zealand Para Swimming Team won 16 medals. This Team will once again be aiming for multiple podium finishes as aim to secure Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games athlete slots for New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>New Zealand Para Swimming&#8217;s 2019 World Championships Team:<\/h2>\n<h3>Sophie Pascoe<\/h3>\n<p>Pascoe has taken the NZ Open Championships by storm this week setting an astonishing 4\u00a0 world records and numerous personal bests. She attributes this success to mixing up her training and increasing her land-based sessions. Pascoe will go into the World Para Swimming Championships in September with her competitors and the world watching. She will be aiming to build on her success of this week as she sets her sights on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games just over one year away.<\/p>\n<h3>Cameron Leslie<\/h3>\n<p>Leslie will go into the World Para Swimming Championships with #1 or #2 world rankings in 3 of his favoured events, and 2 other events waiting in the wings, including his favoured Men\u2019s 150m Individual Medley. Last year Leslie was appointed as National Para Swimming Coordinator with Swimming NZ working to grow Para swimming and the pathways from a regional swimmer to higher honours.<\/p>\n<h3>Tupou Neiufi<\/h3>\n<p>Neiufi has produced some excellent performances in Para swimming since her change in classification in Melbourne earlier this year and will go to London ranked world number 3 in her favoured 100 m backstroke. At this week\u2019s NZ Open Championships Neiufi also took a huge 14 seconds off her personal best time in the Women\u2019s 200m Individual Medley SM8. This will be her first World Para Swimming Championships and she will be looking for continual improvement on her personal bests with an eye on the podium.<\/p>\n<h3>Hamish McLean<\/h3>\n<p>McLean will join Neiufi as a World Championships debutant, although already having made his Paralympic debut in Rio 2016.Christchurch based McLean who currently studies a Bachelor of Engineering will be looking to improve on his performances in Rio 2016 as he continues to build his international experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Jesse Reynolds<\/h3>\n<p>Reynolds has had a number of solid performances this week and qualified for World Para Swimming Championships selection on day one. Reynolds made an outstanding Paralympic debut in Rio 2016 swimming personal bests and making finals. More recently at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Reynolds was just outside of the medals placing fourth twice by the narrowest of margins. He will be looking to go one better in London.<\/p>\n<h3>Chris Arbuthnott<\/h3>\n<p>Arbuthnott will make his World Championships debut in September providing an opportunity for Arbuthnott to learn and perform with the best Paralympians and Para athletes in the world. Arbuthnott who moved to Auckland from Palmerston North two years ago to focus on his Para swimming career, will be looking to perform to his best in London under the watchful eye of coach Simon Mayne.<\/p>\n<h3>Celyn Edwards<\/h3>\n<p>Edwards has made a meteoric rise through Para swimming in recent years cumulating to date with two top 6 finishes at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Following this week\u2019s NZ Open Championships he is now ranked 6<sup>th<\/sup> in the world for the Men\u2019s 200m Individual Medley SM8.<\/p>\n<h2>Full Roster Details:<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-325\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-325\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Para Swimmer<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Classification<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Impairment<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Coach<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">Club<\/th><th class=\"column-6\">Probable Events<\/th><th class=\"column-7\">Resides<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Chris Arbuthnott<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">S9, SB9, SM9<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Limb deficiency (Right below elbow)\t<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Simon Mayne\t<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Icebreaker Aquatics\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">100 free, 50 free, 100 fly<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Auckland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Cameron Leslie\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">SM4, SB4, SM4\t<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Limb deficiency (Quadruple)\t<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Simon Mayne\t<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Whangarei\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">50 free, 50 back, 200 free\t<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Whangarei<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Hamish McLean\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">S6, SB6, SM6\t<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Short stature (Achondroplasia)\t<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Roly Crichton\t<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Wanaka\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">100 free, 200 IM, 400 free<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Christchurch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tupou Neiufi\t\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">S8, SB8, SM8\t<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Hypertonia (Left side hemiplegia)\t<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Sheldon Kemp<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Howick Pakuranga\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">50 free, 100 back, 200 IM\t<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Auckland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sophie Pascoe\t<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">S9, SB8, SM9\t<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Limb deficiency<br \/>\n(Single leg)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Roly Crichton\t<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">QE11\t\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">50 free, 100 free, 100 back, 100 fly, 100 breast, 200 IM<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Christchurch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Jesse Reynolds<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">S9, SB8, SM9<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Limb deficiency<br \/>\n(Proximal Focal Femoral Deficiency PFFD)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Simon Mayne\t<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Fairfield\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">100 back, 100 fly, 200 IM\t<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Auckland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Celyn Edwards\t\t\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">S8, SM8, SB8\t<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Limb deficiency (Left upper arm)\t<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Ben Close<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Selwyn\t<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">100 fly, 200 IM<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">Christchurch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-325 from cache -->\n<p>The 2019 World Para Swimming Championships (London, England) will take place from 9 \u2013 15 September with 600 competitors from 60 nations.
