Chloe Osborn

Reason: She played football when she was younger. After acquiring her impairment in 2016, she began swimming as a form of rehabilitation. "Because of my spinal injury I wasn't allowed to play contact sports or anything where there was impact, so no running or anything like that. Swimming was pretty much the last sport that I was actually allowed to do, and I was always really big on sports, so it was really important that I kept doing something active." (Swimming NSW Facebook page, 03 Dec 2022; ymcansw.org.au, 07 Jul 2021) Additional Info: PHOTOGRAPHY She has worked as a sports photographer. "I played football and when I got my disability, I couldn't play football anymore, but I still wanted to be involved. So, I started taking photos. I found out that I was alright at it. I then brought that photography into swimming as well. I've taken photos at quite a few state age championships, multi-class championships as well."
