Paralympic swimmer from Bridport, Harry Stewart prepares for experience of his life!
27th August 2024
The Bridport 20-year-old, Harry Stewart will compete in the 100m breaststroke at the Paralympics in Paris on September 2nd. He says he is braced for the experience of his life!
Harry was awarded £1,000 towards his training costs from Dorset Community Foundation’s Lord Lieutenant’s Fund for Young and Talented and said the grant is a 'massive help'
“The Lord Lieutenant’s Fund for Young and Talented awards grants of up to £1,000 towards costs such as buying kit and clothing or helping to cover the cost of competition entry fees, coaching, travel and accommodation.”
“I was so pleased to get the grant because it has helped me massively,” said Harry. “I want to win a Paralympic medal and show people that having a low IQ, ASD or learning impairment is nothing to be ashamed of.
“You can still do things that other people may not be able to. Sport, and especially swimming, are what helped my confidence at school when I found everything else stressful and difficult.”
What an inspiring story! We wish Harry all the best in Paris this September.
