Swimmers prepare for AYOF

Six NSWIS Emerging Talent Squad swimmers have been selected to compete at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney.

Rising stars Sophie Taylor, Amelia Gould, James Traiforos, Edward Marks, Jesse King and Liam Cuneen will line up in the event which has provided an excellent pathway to Olympic representation.

The sextet will compete against nations such as China, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand between January 16-20.

Several NSWIS athletes have competed at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival before going on to compete at the Olympic Games, including swimmers Daniel Tranter and Jessica Ashwood.
