Swimming allowed me to move through the water with a certain amount of grace and my disability seemed to disappear in the dimensions of the pool. It got me physically fit, which was a big plus. I enjoyed the competition, the travel and most of all people I met became firm friends. Sport has meant a great deal to me.

Tony suggested I joined his Swimming Squad at Beatty Park, which I did. One day Tony came up to me and said "You have just broken a world record."

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a lumpectomy. After surgery, I wrote to my friends and told them I now had one concave and one convex breast. One friend then asked "Does that mean you will swim round in circles?" Luckily, when I resumed swimming in early 2009 I was still able to swim in a straight line!
