Amanda Lowry

Amanda Lowry is a dedicated advocate for accessible swimming facilities in Tauranga, New Zealand. After suffering a life-changing injury that left her with a broken neck, she returned to the area and was disheartened to find a lack of council facilities for swimming. She actively fundraised $8,000 to provide a hoist for the Ōtūmoetai Pool, highlighting her commitment to ensuring that people of all abilities can enjoy the water. Lowry's efforts have contributed to significant upgrades at the pool, making it a valuable community asset that supports the wellbeing of residents.
