Interview with Paris Bound! USA Payalympic Swimmer, Taylor Winnett

In this episode I’ll be speaking with Para-Olympian Swimmer, Taylor Winnett. 

Taylor was America’s most decorated athlete at the 2023 Parapan American Games after medaling in 6 individual and 1 relay events in Paralympic Swimming, the Parapan American Games Record Holder in the Women’s S10 100m Butterfly, the American Record holder in the Women’s S10 50m Backstroke, and a National Team Member for U.S. Paralympics Swimming. She began swimming at age 4 and after acquiring a spinal injury and diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome she began paraswimming in 2019 as a S10/SM10/SB9. She is a Paris Paralympian and competes in 100m Butterfly, 100m Backstroke, and 400m Freestyle. She is the middle child with two sisters and wife to Jeric Winnett.

I am passionate about sharing life as a Christian woman and professional athlete as well as advocating for disability rights, mental health awareness, ethical adoption, and sobriety from alcohol.  I am open to appearing for engagements on a donation basis.
