It takes an army not just one person to get the best out of you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlso, I wanted to show my appreciation to our patron Gina Rinehart who without her support of swimming across the country and not just in Queensland we would not be where we are today.\u00a0 This support for up-and-coming swimmers all the way through to the elite athlete level is really important for the sport\u2019s long-term future and for the turnaround in performance in the last ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_530056\" style=\"width: 667px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-530056\" data-attachment-id=\"530056\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-queensland-secures-2032-home-games-development-squad-partnership-with-hancock-prospecting\/wade_sq-hp-selects-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wade_SQ-HP-Selects-5-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1798\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-1&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1687566886&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;55&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming Queensland Hancock Prospecting Launch\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Australian swim stars Mitch Larkin, Ty Hartwell, Will Martin, Lizzy Dekkers, Jenna Strauch, Zac Stubblety-Cook and Katja Dedekind.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Wade Brennan Photography&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wade_SQ-HP-Selects-5-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wade_SQ-HP-Selects-5-1024x719.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-530056\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wade_SQ-HP-Selects-5-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"657\" height=\"469\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-530056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PRODUCTION LINE: (L-R) Mitch Larkin, Ty Hartwell, Will Martin, Lizzy Dekkers, Jenna Strauch, Zac Stubblety-Cook and Katja Dedekind.
