Louise Fiddes Paralympics 2024

She began learning to swim at age five. Her journey into swimming started after a near-drowning incident as a child. "When I was a little kid I almost drowned and from that point onwards my parents really pushed it. And because I almost drowned, I really hated it at the beginning but then it turned into a sort of love in the end," she said.
