U.S. Army Reservist and native Hawaiian Sgt. Nahale loves the water and excels when she’s in it. She is looking forward to testing herself against top warrior athletes from around the world in Swimming at the Games.“Being able to represent the United States at the Invictus Games is a huge honor for me,” she said. In April 2013, Nahale was diagnosed with breast cancer, and adaptive reconditioning has been instrumental in getting her back on track and back in the water. “When I swim or paddle, I am able to focus on all the moving parts of the sport,” she said. “Being able to be in the water is very healing for me.” In addition to setting her sights on medaling at these games and continuing as a warrior athlete, Nahale would like to help other wounded Soldiers recover and reintegrate by becoming Cadre at one of the Army’s Warrior Transition Units.
