"It's kind of indescribable. When they announce her name and she's representing the United States, I get goose bumps all over. I'm so amazed that's my child," Joyce Wheeler, Kayla's mother, said.
"We always told her there is nothing you can't do, we just might have to figure out a different way for you to do it, and she has pushed the envelope.
And when shes not swimming, Wheeler also plays baseball, bowls and skis.
Shes also reportedly a top student, participating in a community college Rocketry and Robotics Team while also taking advanced courses.
This year she was named a scholastic All-American for her academic and athletic accomplishments.
Wheeler actually qualified for last years Paralympics, but she wasnt able to compete because there technically wasnt anyone for her to compete with. The Paralympics divides competitors into divisions based on the severity of their physical disabilities.
"I didn't get to make the team because there were no female events for my classification, which is an S1. That's the most disabled you could be and still swim," Wheeler said.
"I like being able to represent my country. That's amazing breaking records and getting medals, but I like being out there as a role model too.
