I’m a King’s Kid 🏊🏻♀️ //
Meet Maya- at just 17 years old, Maya has been selected to represent Australia at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Vancouver- a milestone that brings her one step closer to her dream of one day competing at the Olympic Games.
But her journey to the green and gold hasn’t been straightforward.
Behind every medal are years of sacrifice, early mornings, injuries, illness, setbacks, and the determination to keep showing up.
While balancing Year 12, school leadership, and elite training, Maya has never lost sight of the dream she’s been chasing since she first dived into the pool.
In this episode of our I’m a King’s Kid series, Maya shares the story behind the swimmer, the challenges that have shaped her, and why representing Australia means so much.
As she prepares to compete on the world stage, Maya is also raising funds to help cover the costs of high-performance sport. If you’d like to support her journey, you can donate via the link in the comments. Every contribution helps bring her one step closer to the starting blocks.
Your King’s family is behind you all the way, Maya! 🇦🇺
