Maisie Summers Newton

Maisie Summers-Newton has won titles at all levels including Paralympic, World, European and Commonwealth events as well as being the current world record holder in the SM6 200m Individual Medley - after only making her debut in 2018.

Her MC 100m Breaststroke gold at the 2018 British Para-Swimming International Meet in Sheffield ensured the Northampton-based athlete booked herself a seat on the plane to the European Para Swimming Championships in Dublin that year.

Those Europeans saw Summers-Newton - on her senior international debut - make four trips to the podium, including three to the top step after a trio of gold-medal successes. Her first gold came on the second day of competition in the SM6 200m Individual Medley, with other titles coming in the SB6 100m Breaststroke and Women’s 34pt 4x100m Medley Relay events, the latter in a world record time.

The Wellingborough swimmer claimed the Worlds SM6 200m Individual Medley title in London - breaking her own world record in the process - as well as a silver in the SB6 100m Breaststroke and S6 100m Freestyle bronze.

Summers-Newton continued her rise to prominence at Tokyo 2020 where she became a double Paralympic champion, winning both the SB6 100m breaststroke and SM6 200m individual medley finals.

She became a triple world champion in 2022 after topping the podium in the S6 400m freestyle, SM6 200m Individual Medley and SB6 100m breaststroke before adding the Commonwealth title in the latter event to her name at the end of the summer.

In 2023, Summers-Newton returned to the world stage in Manchester, where she reclaimed her titles in the breaststroke and individual medley along with collecting silver in the 400m freestyle.
