FOREWORD<br />

TIM REDDISH - DIRECTOR OF DISABILITY SWIMMING<br />

Welcome to this guide for the Great Britain Swimming Team for the Paralympic Games, Athens 2004.<br />

In Sydney, Great Britain attained third place on the Gold Medal Table behind Canada and Spain. Since 2000,<br />

Great Britain were European Champions in 2001 ahead of rivals Spain and also finished top of the medal table<br />

at the 2002 International Paralympic Committee World Swimming Championships.<br />

The team for Athens contains both first time and experienced Paralympic swimmers and <strong>staff</strong>, some of whom<br />

are competing in their fifth and sixth Paralympic Games. The experience of these swimmers combined with a<br />

highly skilled team of <strong>staff</strong> will enable Great Britain to send its best ever prepared swimming team to the Games.<br />

The team is a cohesive unit consisting of 34 swimmers and 16 <strong>staff</strong> who work together for the benefit of the<br />

swimmers.<br />

The aim for Athens will be for the Great Britain team to win more gold medals than in Sydney with<br />

a smaller team.<br />
