Australian swimming legend Michael Klim will discuss his deeply personal book that chronicles elite success, sudden adversity and the long journey of recovery.

In his book Klim, following a serious auto immune diagnosis, the author reflects on the loss of physical certainty, the emotional impact of illness and the challenge of redefining strength beyond sporting achievement.

In this candid presentation, he will explore discipline, vulnerability and perseverance, sharing insights into resilience when familiar markers of success disappear.

Inspiring and confronting, this session will speak to anyone facing unexpected change or rebuilding life on new terms.
