After winning the men's 100-metre freestyle at the World Aquatic Championships in Japan last week, Kyle Chalmers is heading home to Port Lincoln to catch up with family and friends — and play a game of football with his old club.
"Kyle and Matt are very, very good people," he said.
Mr Wagner said he admired Chalmers's ability to stay grounded and considered it a testament to his character. Chalmers's cousin Justin Sheppherd said his whole family was excited to catch up, as he knew it could be be hard to find time between swimming training and competitions. "Just for him to come home and for all the kids to get their shirts signed and to watch him put on the boots, that will all be pretty exciting."
