    In preparation for Tokyo 2020, The Australian Paralympic Swim Team took a deep dive into their values and team culture to create their anthem “First Ones Home”. Working with each other over the two days to negotiate lyrics, learn dance moves and create scenes for their video clip, the team go to know each other – and themselves – on a whole new level.
