Mary Fisher once again showed the Para-Swimming world that she means business by winning gold in the Women's S11 100m freestyle on the first day of the IPC Swimming World Championships in Glasgow.
Fisher won the S11 50m Freestyle convincingly with a time of 1:10.3, defending her 2013 World Championshiptitle.
Sophie Pascoe followed shortly afterwards with a bronze in the blistering women's S10 50m freestyle final in a time of 28:00, the second fastest time Sophie has swam in this event.
Seven Kiwi swimmers took to the water on the opening with all seven making finals with four, Rebecca Dubber (S7 100m Freestyle), Cameron Leslie (S5 50m Backstroke), Jesse Reynolds (S9 100m Backstroke) and Hamish Mclean (S6 400m Freestyle), producing personal bests.
"It was pleasing to see our debutant Hamish Mclean, swim well throughout the day and set personal bests in the S6 400m Freestyle heat and final," PNZ head swim coach Jon Shaw said.
"This bodes well for the rest of the meet...a great experience. This is a high pressure meet one year out from the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. The team are performing as we would expect within a great team environment and have really come together with great support for each other."
