- I’m competing at counties and I’ve been told that, even though my times qualify me, I can’t swim any finals because I’m a Para-swimmer. I’m not allowed to swim finals because I’m not able bodied. I only want the opportunity to race swimmers of similar speed to me…So mad rn🙃

- 2010 — 2019 I started this decade with multiple surgeries and a ton of time in hospital. I’m ending this decade with multiple world titles, world records and a ton of memories from all around the world. I’m so grateful for the last 9 years and everyone involved, thank you🙏🏼 ❤️
- UPDATE: I want to let you all know that as a result of this tweet and everyone’s reactions, the rules around this (nationally) are now being looked into. I also want to thank Middlesex county as they’ve already got the ball rolling in sorting this issue for future events. 👍🏼👍🏼I’m competing at counties and I’ve been told that, even though my times qualify me, I can’t swim any finals because I’m a Para-swimmer.
