Generate adviser to take on the best at the 2024 Paris Paralympics 


We’re gearing up to cheer on one of our expert KiwiSaver advisers, Jesse Reynolds, at the 2024 Paris Paralympics!


Jesse was born with Proximal Focal Femoral Deficiency (PFFD), which led to his right foot being amputated for a prosthetic leg at a very young age. 


Jesse told us he’s been swimming for a long time, and he found his passion while at school where he often outperformed his friends. After placing in the top three at a school competition, he decided to take things seriously, and soon he was making a splash on the international stage.


Jesse has competed in four World Championships and two Paralympic Games already, including Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. Even a fracture right before Rio couldn’t stop him; he competed through the pain.


Jesse also scored a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham 2022. 


As he prepares for his main event in Paris, the Men’s S9 100m Backstroke, we will be sharing updates on our Instagram page so you can follow Jesse’s campaign too.


When Jesse isn’t in the pool, he’s helping Kiwis in the Waikato with their KiwiSaver accounts. The Generate team is incredibly proud of Jesse and we can’t wait to support him at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Here’s to Jesse making waves once again! Go Jesse!
