After attending the Sydney 2000 Paralympics there was no turning back for Sarah Rose, she had found her passion in swimming, a place that created an even playing field in a world that didn’t present her with the same opportunities as everyone else.

Sarah, who is four foot two, describes how swimming gave her a sense of purpose at a time when she didn't think she should be "proud" of her disability. After 23 years, Sarah has represented her nation both as an athlete and as a current member of the Paralympic Committee for the upcoming 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane, where she will be advocating for representation and employment. She is also getting ready to publish her first book and has become a media star on some of the most-watched shows in Australia as well as host a podcast where she interviews some big names.

Sarah also opened up to ListenABLE about her personal journey with IVF, choosing to screen for her disability and what it means to be a mum with Dwarfism both emotionally and physically.
