In September 2020 he sustained an elbow injury which affected his training for about two months. He resumed full training in November 2020. (stuff.co.nz, 29 Nov 2020)
He broke bones in his leg twice in 2016. On the first occasion he fractured the fibula on the stump of his right leg a week before the New Zealand Paralympic selection trials. He returned to the pool just three days later with a waterproof cast and, although he did not reach the qualification mark, the selectors took his circumstances into account and picked him for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Having returned to full training, he attended a pre-Games camp in Orlando, FL, United States of America, where he slipped during a rainstorm and broke his leg again. Although he initially thought he would be unable to compete in Rio de Janeiro, he had consultations with three surgeons who agreed that swimming was unlikely to make the injury any worse because the bone had not been displaced in the fall. He spent a week out the of the water, returning to the pool just one day before his first event at the Games - the S9 400m freestyle. He also went on to compete in the S9 100m backstroke and the S9 100m freestyle in Rio de Janeiro. (hpsnz.org.nz, 03 Apr 2018)
