In this episode of the podcast, Rich talks to former Special Olympian swimmer, Ashton Smith.
Ashton tells us about her growing up and discovering her talent for swimming. Ashton has swam for the US Special Olympics team in Texas and her career which has seen success has left her asking questions of the organisation.
Ashton's time with them has inspired her book, 'Swimming Upstream to Realize the Dream' which is available to purchase here:- https://www.amazon.com.au/Swimming-UPSTREAM-Ashton-Smith-ebook/dp/B08TRT7NJS
Ashton hopes to become a motivational speaker and use her story to help highlight her message of 'Hope Lives'.
