Olympic Gold-Medalist Schoenmaker Inspires South Africa’s Young Swimmers | CGTN Africa

Tatjana Schoenmaker, the current Women’s 200m Breaststroke world record holder, is looking to leave a mark beyond the pool.

The 24-year-old South African who stormed to fame at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics by winning Gold in the 200m breaststroke and Silver in the 100m breaststroke, is looking to use her glory to inspire her country’s young generation of swimmers.

“I always felt like I wanted to give back, I think swimming is also not a very well-known sport, so I am not just targeting swimming but I’d love to just make a difference in someone’s life, let someone be able to achieve their dreams,” she said.
