James Leigh’s Journey to National Glory
Description
Nineteen-year-old James Leigh just shattered records at the New Zealand National Championships, claiming Open titles in both the 400m and 800m freestyle while smashing personal bests in the 200m and 400m — feats that once seemed impossible. His journey, from training in the Philippines and Australia under coach James Boyce to now working as a lifeguard and instructor at his hometown pool, is fueled by relentless dedication and a dream of Olympic glory. With his sights set on the 2028 Games and a spot on the 2026 Pan Pacific team, James is proving that grinding consistency, Kiwi pride, and unwavering support can turn ambition into achievement.
