Impairment Details

General
MOVE TO PARA SPORT
He was diagnosed with autism at age 13, but competed in able-bodied swimming as he was growing up. At about age 18 or 19, he was encouraged by his coach at the time to pursue Para swimming. "He found the pathway on how to apply and sent me all the details and then from there they helped sort out what I had to do. Swimming with [able-bodied] swimmers has been a test because some of them can be a lot faster than me, but I don't really see that as a negative thing because it has allowed me to adapt to them and be able to race as fast as them." (paralympics.org.uk, 20 Jun 2019)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
He has worked for his father's carpet fitting company in Plymouth, England. (plymouthleander.com, 03 May 2019)
