TIJUANA, Mexico --- UNI sophomore swimmer Olivia Chambers continued her path towards the Paralympics this past week, competing with the U.S. Paralympic Swimming National Team in the Citi Para Swimming World Series Mexico event in Tijuana.
"I've always dreamed of swimming for the USA, so competing in Tijuana was one of the best experiences ever," Chambers said. "I really enjoyed meeting the other members of the national team and loved the experience of competing against athletes who have gone through similar struggles as me."
Chambers, who is classified as legally blind under World Para Swimming's disability classifications and who has competed as an official para-athlete since April, took home a pair of medals after competing in three events at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento pool.
