Tahnee Afuhaamango stepped out of the pool and went home, not realising until later how fast she had actually swum.Her family quickly arranges for all the paperwork to be completed before it is too lateThe swimming sensation finished the 200m freestyle event in a local competition and then went home to Jingili in Darwin's northern suburbs for a break.
When she returned to Parap pool that afternoon for the rest of the competition, Afuhaamango's mother, Donna Rousham, checked the results and saw that her official time for the freestyle event was 3:38:72.Afuhaamango's swim was 6.64 seconds faster than the world Down syndrome masters record for swimmers aged over 35.Mrs Rousham scrambled to fill out the paperwork, which needed to be signed off immediately by officials who witnessed the feat at the NT Long Course Qualifier on February 6.
So why point out she’s a Down syndrome can’t she be just a swimmer, just saying we talk about breaking down barriers and then point out she’s a Downie.

Granville4879 Absolutely wonderful! :)
I wonder if we'll ever look back and wonder why some of these beautiful people were terminated before birth, all because of one extra chromosome.
Well done Tahnee!! 🙌
