I started diving by chance when I was 7, and began competing just after my 9th birthday. There have been lots of highlights since then, including winning the World Championships when I was 15 and picking up two gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi 2010.

I was inspired to take up competitive swimming by the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games. After winning two gold medals in Beijing I became the youngest person to be awarded an MBE, aged 14. Since then, I've been working hard towards London.

I started swimming at 4, but when I was 10 my uncle was in a local triathlon and I couldn't wait to try it too. A month later I took part in my first event. That summer I watched Cathy Freeman race to victory in Sydney - and I can still remember every second.

Getting over the accident was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, both mentally and physically. I'm very excited about London 2012 but am not getting myself too worked up. It is quite a way off and although I am confident about my chances of winning a medal, I need to keep improving my times because there will be some serious challengers in 2012.
