The little 25-metre pool at Greenbank State School in Logan, Queensland, must have special powers - it's produced two gold medal-winning Olympians at the Paris games, Mollie O'Callaghan and Shayna Jack. They won gold and broke the Olympic record in the 4x100m freestyle alongside Emma McKeon and Meg Harris.Mollie went on to win her first individual Olympic gold in a 200m freestyle battle with team-mate and rival Ariarne Titmus. Another former student is Camryn Newton-Smith, who will be competing in the heptathlon event in Paris. SBS's Stephanie Youssef spoke to Natalie Willcocks, the Greenbank Gators Swimming Club president.
