Hi! I’m Victoria, and I compete in Swimming for Team Ontario. A friend invited me out for tryouts, and I made it — and I’ve now been part of Special Olympics for 11 years.
Special Olympics has helped me meet new friends, helped me not be so shy, and shown me there is no judgement.
One of my proudest moments was going to Nationals in 2018 and bringing home 5 gold medals for swimming. I participated in Swimming at Nationals in 2018.
I stay active through volleyball and an adult church group.
Being part of Team Ontario is a great honor, and I’ve never been out there before — it’s a great opportunity.
My advice? Helping others.
