She swam for Deaf GB in Russia, as part of the European Championship, before getting injured and missing the Worlds. She discusses her experience through school, university and swimming and the lessons she learnt through her disability. Emma is now training to be a teacher and hopes to inspire the next generation! A really fascinating episode of disability, competitive sport and finding the correct level of support at university.
