Reece Dunn joined the British Para-Swimming setup in 2019 and has already established himself with a trio of World Para Swimming Championship titles and four world records.

In a whirlwind debut year, Plymouth Leander athlete Dunn broke the S14 100m and 200m Freestyle records at June’s World Para Swimming World Series event in Berlin.

Three months later, he swam to individual gold in the S14 200m Freestyle and S14 100m Butterfly at the World Championships, as well as playing a part in the Mixed S14 4x100m Freestyle Relay team.

Dunn also added an SM14 200m Individual Medley silver for good measure.

Having swam competitively from a young age, Dunn also briefly tried his hand at the aquatic discipline of diving in his formative years before concentrating solely on swimming.

Making his Paralympic debut at Tokyo 2020, Dunn became ParalympicsGB’s most decorated athlete of the Games as he stormed the pool to leave with three golds, a silver and a bronze medal haul

Two days after winning silver in the S14 100m butterfly, Dunn blew apart the field to win a maiden Paralympic gold medal in the 200m freestyle in a world record time of 1:52.40.

But he wasn’t finished there with further golds in both the 200m individual medley and the 4x100m mixed freestyle relay, as well as a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke.
