Inspiring Speaker: Alexa Leary – Resilience, Performance & Preparation for Greatness

Alexa Leary (“Lex”) is a Paralympic champion, world record holder, and one of Australia’s most inspiring athletes, known for her resilience, positivity, and elite performance in the pool.

After a life-changing cycling accident in 2021, Alexa turned to para swimming and quickly rose to the world stage. She made her Paralympic debut at Paris 2024, winning gold in the 100m freestyle S9 and silver in the 50m freestyle S9, followed by record-breaking performances at the 2025 World Para Swimming Championships in Singapore.

Training on the Gold Coast under coach Jon Bell at Bond University, she continues to be one of the fastest para swimmers in the world and a standout figure in Australian sport.

Beyond swimming, Alexa is also a music producer and DJ, using creativity as another outlet for expression and resilience. Looking ahead to LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032, she continues to inspire through her story of determination, courage, and high performance.
