My name is Adrian Cramp and I live in a large town called Chesterfield, made famous by its Crooked Spire Church.
I did not learn to swim until I was 26 years old, as I was terrified of water due to being frightened by swimming lessons at school. I was given supported employment with North East Derbyshire District Council as a Sports Development Worker, and I had to learn to swim as part of that post. I then joined a swimming club for people with learning disabilities and trained as hard as I could and won a few events with them. This club folded and I then joined the Spire Oaks Special Olympics Swimming club for People with Learning difficulties.

ere I swim, the coach is also one of my close friends so she knows what I am like as a person. I had a very enjoyable National Swimming Championships at Sharley Park on the 5th & 6th of May, where the natural step ups from Club Swimmer only to Regional Squad & now National Squad I have yet to attended my first training session but I looking forward to it. Yes it will be tough at the top but if you want to be the best, all you budding swimmers able-bodied & disabled - get to a club & learn to swim, you never know when you will need it. I had a very special Olympics in Cardiff 2001 where I brought home three silvers, one bronze & one fifth place. As I said at the time, I was very disappointed as I thought I could swim faster. The turn was poor by my standards by I sat down with my coaches & talked it though. |
