About Madelyn
Limb Difference: Congenital
Type: Missing Left Arm

Madelyn was born ten weeks early and missing her left arm in St.
Louis, MO. Growing up, she pursued sports such as dance, gymnastics,
karate, horseback riding, and twirling baton. After attending a Disabled
Athlete Sports Association swim practice in 7th grade, Madelyn fell in
love with the water! She went on to swim all 4 years in high school and
played on her JV water polo team. By senior year, Madelyn had became
the fastest Butterfly swimmer on her high school team.
Now, Madelyn enjoys swimming for her local disabled team, and has
become more serious about strength training. Madelyn is a patient

others about how we are all different in our own unique ways!

“My favorite part of NubAbility is seeing the progress that is made by
the end of camp. Some campers, are able to swim the full length of the
pool by the end of their swim sessions, and it really is empowering to
see their confidence grow (in and out of the water) in the span of a few
days.” - Coach Madelyn
