About This Swim

On the 1st of October 2000 I did a swim to raise awareness of the upcoming Paralympics to be held on the 18-29th of October in Sydney. My swim started at North Steyne beach and went around to Darling Harbour. I had a great weather day and I had an accompanying boat and I was fortunate to have Murray Rose and many Paralympians who would meet me at Darling Harbour. My swim went so well that I got to Darling Harbour well in advance of when I was meant to, so I went and had a conversation whilst I was in the water with my friends at Kings Wharf near Darling Harbour. I eventually finished my swim at Darling Harbour and Murray Rose and the Paralympians did meet me at the finish along with a crew from Channel 9 news.
