EVLYN & THE WORLD TRANSPLANT GAMES
State Swim is a proud sponsor of
Evlyn Hossack, a competitor at the
17th World Transplant Games.
We wish Evlyn much success in her
chosen events and hope she has a
fantastic experience.
The 17th World Transplant Games are in Australia on the Gold Coast during August. The Games exist to visibly demonstrate the benefits of successful organ transplantation, work to increase public awareness of its success and thereby increase organ donation rates, as well ar promote the full rehabilitation and well being of all participants. Each athlete must have receieved one of the following transplants: kidney, heart, lung, heart-lung, liver, pancreas, corneal or
bone marrow.
Let me introduce Evlyn Hossack, 25 yrs old, the youngest of 4 children, energetic, fun loving, a lady who will not let her past stop her from fullfilling her sporting endeavours. Although being born with a hole in her heart which was fixed at nine months of age, Evlyn enjoyed most things her friends did, especially sport but had to slow down a bit as she got puffed more easily. Evlyn's life, however, changed dramatically in 2005 when she was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension which is a lung disease. Transplantation was now the only option available for Evlyn. Immediate changes were made to the once independant adult, with Evlyn unable to continue with her career she had to leave her job, moved back home, became wheel chair bound, was dependant on oxygen and basically couldn't do anything. Thankfully Evlyn received a Heart and Double Lung life-saving transplant in 2008. No one is
more appreciative then Evlyn, of the dedicated staff that contributed to Evlyns 'second chance' and the weeks of rehabilitation and of course to the donor and their family. Asked if there was anything she could say regarding her experience, her reply was "have patience, listen to your body, listen to your doctor and just let it happen,
you will get through it".
This is one inspirational and determined lady, not only 1 event is on her 'to do' list but 4, ten-pin bowling, beach volleyball, track & field and swimming
(50m breaststroke and 50m medley). The Australian team has 200 competitors, 30 of which are from Western Australia. There are 300 participants coming over from the UK but that doesn't faze Evlyn who thinks her best chance of a medal, is in 10 pin bowling and maybe swimming. The next couple of months will consist of training Monday to Friday. After the Games it will be a return to full time work, save to travel to Europe and consider the next World Games. Evlyn will fill us in on her experience and achievements in September.
If you would like to make a contribution to cover Evlyns expenses, please contact us at admin@stateswim.com.au. For organ donor information, please refer to your Medicare office.

promoting this event. Participant numbers was
only second to Whitford City who had 72

then straight into the events. Our swimmers did Joondalup proud. There were too
many awesome swims to name them all but the coaches could see the hard
work in training paying off with turns and starts being executed correctly. The team
atmosphere was alive and well and all enjoyed the different venue. We held the
event at the local Arena in the 50m pool. Overall we came 2nd to Whitford city but
we had 7 age group champions.

prepare our swimmers. They were Warren (Head Coach), Mitchell
(chief announcer), Mark and Jacinta (recorders on the computers),
Joshua (starter), Lee (chief marshaller) and Kat (Team Leader).
Thanks to the kid's who made it an exciting event, all all their hard training,
enthusiasm and determination, paid off. A big thank you to the parents who
helped with time keeping and who help out at training, it is appreciated.

KID'S SPOT
Q: What do you call an elephant swimming?
A: swimming trunks!!!!
OK, so it's not the funniest joke you've ever
heard, try finding swimming related
jokes, they are not easy to come by.
Actually I would like you to email me on
admin@stateswim.com.au your best
(clean and non offensive) joke for the
next Achievers Monthly. I will pick out a couple that get the most chuckles
and print them.
GUESS WHO ?
*One of our most successful swimmers started squad training at
8 years of age.
*He (that was a clue) was allergic to chlorine but grew out of it.
*His foot size (or should we say flipper) is 17, wow that's big!
*To this day, he holds the record for being the fastest 14 year old
male swimmer in the history of swimming... awesome
*He was the youngest ever world champion at 15.
*Competed mainly in 100, 200, 400 & 800 metre freestyle but would swim in
just about any race...and usually win.
*Although not his most well known nickname, 'Flipper' was one of the names
he answered to.
The answer is printed somewhere in this newsletter, you will just have to
find it, although I think some of you have probably guessed it by now.
TRUE OR FALSE
You shouldn't swim straight after eating.
It actually is true, your parents really know a thing or two when they tell you this.
You shouldn't swim for about an hour after eating. This is mainly because your
body is trying to digest your food and you may get a cramp, which is not only
painful but can be very dangerous if you are in deep water or even in shallow
water. So allow your 'food to go down' after eating, then GO FOR IT!
SOMETHING TO MAKE
Play Dough
You will need:
2 cups of plain flour
4 tablespoons of Cream Of Tartar
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 cup of salt
food colouring (optional)
2 cups of water
What to do: (you will need an adult to help you)
Mix the ingredients in a saucepan, stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or
until the mixture congeals. Let mixture cool. Now it's ready.
It's best kept in a plastic container in the fridge.
