Born in 1984, Natalie du Toit started competing internationally in swimming at the age of 14. While still at school, Natalie represented Western Province primary schools for swimming and  was awarded Waterbuck colours at the age of 10 which is  equivalent of Junior Springbok colours.

Apart from her skill as a swimmer, she has also  studied for a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Cape Town, specializing in genetics and physiology.

In 2001 she had to have her left leg amputated at the knee after a traffic accident. When many people might have ended their pursuit of excellence at this loss, Natalie du Toit was more determined than ever to succeed as a swimmer and has gone on to win a string of awards for her amazing and awe-inspiring achievements.

Just some of them are -

• 2004 – gold medals at the Paralympic Games as well as the Commonwealth Games
• 2008 – one of two Paralympians to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing
• 2009 -  awarded Ikamanga Gold – for her contribution to sports in South Africa

Her fantastic attitude and her huge success as a swimmer have resulted  in her being an inspiration for many people in South Africa and all over the world.

Audiences are riveted as they listen to how  they can overcome adversities and with self belief, reach any goal they dream of. Her talks are based on her  world-beating achievments  and how she deals with the good and bad in the best way possible.
