Young swimmers in Kyle Chalmers' home town are drawing plenty of inspiration from the Olympic medallist as they dive in for training on cold winter mornings.
Their coach say regional swimmers face additional barriers to success due to a lack of resources and long travel times to competitions.Locals will be watching closely as Kyle Chalmers competes in his third Olympics at the Paris games in July.
But gold squad coach Nicol Wright said regional swimmers were disadvantaged compared to kids in the city."Travelling to Adelaide for competitions — we are just as far away as Melbourne, a seven-hour drive or an expensive flight.One of the gold squad's best performers was 13-year-old Tyrell Nemeth-Smith, who recently broke four state records for his age group at a swim meet.
She said while there was a "future Kyle Chalmers in anyone", it all came down to commitment and love for the sport.
