Taylor MacKenzie struggled to communicate in her younger years. Now people have a hard time keeping her quiet – and that transformation owes a lot to swimming.
Taylor was three years old when she first discovered the joys of being in water. She is now 15 years old and is competing as part of an 82-athlete strong Team GB at the Special Olympics in Germany.
Her story is a remarkable one which demonstrates the power of sport. Taylor has a diagnosis of Autism and Learning Disabilities, which has made school a difficult task at times. But through swimming she has been able to find a grounding in life.
