Jesse attended the NZ National Short Course champs in Wellington in August 2011 and won seven gold medals during the 6 day competition. He continues to train 8 times a week – approximately 16 hours per week. It is a constant juggle for him with school, homework and training, but none-the-less he is still very committed to achieving his dream of competing at the Paralympics some time in the future.
