The blind swimmer from Garden City who won big at the Paralympics in Tokyo is back home now relaxing and celebrating her victory.

Anastasia Pagonis won two gold medals, a bronze medal and set a world record in her first trip to the Paralympics.

"It still doesn't feel real," says Pagonis. "I feel like these aren't mine."

Pagonis was treated to a stars and stripes salute outside the Manhasset-Lakeville fire house. She was also given a party inside the fire house and was reunited with her coach Marc Danin, the man who taught her to turn her blindness into belief.

Pagonis even got a celebratory tattoo that reads "perfectly imperfect."
