Noah is a young para swimmer from Calgary, Alberta, competing in the S10 classification at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. He began his journey in athletics at age 10, inspired initially by his sister. After knee surgery in his youth, Noah was reluctant to return to running but found a passion for long and high jumps. Encouraged by his parents and teachers, he started competing and eventually joined CALTAF, where his potential in Para athletics was recognized. In February 2020, he received confirmation of his eligibility for Para athletics, marking the start of his dedicated pursuit in the sport.
