Welcome to Clever Dicks, where we dive into the stories of extraordinary athletes who have redefined their sports and inspired the world.

Today, we spotlight Mary Fisher, one of New Zealand’s most decorated Paralympic swimmers. Born with a visual impairment, Mary didn’t just overcome obstacles—she shattered records. A Paralympic gold medalist, world champion, and multiple world record-holder, she dominated the pool in events ranging from sprint freestyle to backstroke and medley, and of late, Ice Swimming and Open Water Swimming.

Her journey began in Wellington, but her impact has rippled across the globe. From standing atop the podium in London 2012 to breaking world records at Rio 2016, Mary’s career has been a testament to resilience, skill, and determination. And beyond the pool, she’s tackled open water swimming, proving that her love for the water knows no bounds.

To top it off, Mary is one of the nicest people I know.

Enjoy!
