Olivia Newman-Baronius made an impressive start to 2024 which included equalling the Women’s S14 100m Butterfly world record at the Aquatics GB national Swimming Championships in London.

Her maiden international championships on the British team yielded further success, with Newman-Baronius winning European titles in the 100m Butterfly and 200m Individual Medley, in addition to a 200m Freestyle silver in Madeira.

Paris 2024 - her debut Paralympic Games - followed, and Newman-Baronius shone yet again, claiming S14 mixed 4x100m freestyle relay gold alongside teammates Poppy Maskill, Rhys Derbey and Will Ellard. She also won bronze behind Maskill in the S14 100m backstroke.

The Leighton Buzzard-born athlete has been swimming competitively since she was six, when she joined her local club, Linslade Crusaders. By the age of nine she was competing at county level and by 12, she was swimming nationally and joined the Swim England Talent Pathway.
