Scott Quin raced to silver on his Paralympic debut at Rio 2016 in a thrilling final where he was just pipped to the wall by ParalympicsGB teammate Aaron Moores.

Since making his international debut at the 2011 IPC Swimming European Championships in Berlin, Quin has continued to demonstrate his potential by producing consistent results in his favourite event, the 100m breaststroke SB14.

He won silver medals in that event at the 2014 European and 2015 World Championships, before repeating that success at Rio.

Following his first Games, Scott once again claimed silver in his favoured event at a home World Championships in London in 2019.

At Tokyo 2020 Quin made it two medals in as many Paralympic finals when he won bronze in the SB14 100m breaststroke final.

In 2022, Quin won his first gold medal as part of the mixed S14 relay team in Madeira at the World Championships and in the following year at the Manchester event, the same team took silver.
