He initially used swimming for physiotherapy following his accident and was inspired to compete after he met athletes taking part in the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta. "Swimming was something I always loved, as well as water skiing. I am very familiar with water and I love it. It is something that has always suited me."
