An amazing man, makes you think twice when you think you can't achieve things.

Like Professor Hawkins, he proves what I have always said, there is no such thing as 'disabled' just varying degrees of handicaps.

Very brave man, many top swimmers would not attempt that.

That took some guts, well done indeed. Loved the three dolphins alongside him.
