I&#8217;m ranked 11th for the 100m breaststroke so I&#8217;m hoping to maybe get a final but it will be tough competition.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Last weekend she competed at the Victorian Open and just two weeks before she qualified for the 100m breaststroke with a time of 1:19.23. She earlier secured her place for the 50m breaststroke at 36.14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;If you had told me a year ago that I&#8217;d be at nationals I wouldn&#8217;t have believed you,&#8221; India said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;I one day hoped to get to nationals but I thought it would be a few years down the line \u2013 not as soon as it has happened.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>India returned to the pool with a laser focus after a break in 2018 to pursue other sports and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>During the long days of the COVID-19 pandemic she found herself longing for the water and joined Gisborne Thunder Swimming Club at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>While India&#8217;s profile has seen a rapid rise it has all come with dedication to training, coupled with a long-held passion and natural ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>India trains five times a week in the pool totalling more than eight hours split between Gisborne (three days) and Bendigo. She also fits in at least one gym session a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Now in year 10 at Braemar College, India takes the same attitude to her school work. She dreams of studying biomedicine at Melbourne University, with a particular interest in cell biology and cancer research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Gisborne Thunder club president Kelly Skehan said India was &#8220;a surprise package&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the club&#8217;s history, India is one of a small number of swimmers who have qualified for this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;She gets along really well with everyone, as well as being really focused and determined,&#8221; Kelly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;But the biggest thing that stands out is India&#8217;s humility. She can go to many big competitions and has everyone cheering her on but she is very humble about her success.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>India has been working with Gisborne coach Wayne Wilson and Bendigo East head coach John Jordan who have been preparing her for the big event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>John will travel to Queensland to support India and swimmers from the Bendigo club. India&#8217;s family will also be there to cheer her on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Gisborne Thunder will be livestreaming the event on a big screen for club members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/India-1-SML-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13874\" width=\"801\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/India-1-SML-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/India-1-SML-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/India-1-SML-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><figcaption>India Paleg has blown expectations out of the water with her rapid rise to nationals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Hume Swimming newcomer India Paleg has blown expectations out of the water with her rapid rise to nationals.
