Gretta Leigh-Cooper Australian DS Swimmer

Gretta Leigh- Cooper is an Australian Down Syndrome swimmer. She has qualified to represent Australia at the 8th European Down Syndrome Swimming Championships in Portugal in late October/November 2025 competing against Europe's elite swimmers.

Gretta is a member of Wagga Swim Club and trains 3-4 days per week under Head Coach Gennadiy Labara and the coaching team.

Gretta is officially part of the Australian team, swimming for Australia, competing against the best Down Syndrome swimmers internationally.

The family are having to fund this event privately with no official support, Gretta is not receiving any funding from the official sporting bodies of Australia.

Flights, Official Team Accommodation, Australian Team Uniforms and representative clothing all have to be paid for by the family.

Any help for Gretta would be greatly appreciated.
