Born in 1974 in Spring, Penny Heyns showed early on that she was going to be a top swimmer, and this earned her a bursary to study at Nebraska University in the USA which meant being exposed to a higher level of competition.
She broke many world records but her moment of glory came in 1999 in Los Angeles where she set four world records in just two days. She became the only woman in Olympic history to win both the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke.
She is the only Breaststroke swimmer to hold the 50M, 100M and 200M Long Course world records simultaneously.
Competing with some of the best swimmers ever has enabled Penny Heyns to gain insight into the world of top athletes, how they got to the top and managed to stay at the top.
On September 20, 2000 Heyns announced her retirement from swimming. Today she addresses audiences around the world, inspiring people to realise their untapped potential and fulfil their dreams.
Audiences are gripped by her story. You can book her for your event and be challenged to make a go of anything you set your heart on.
