Average Disabled Jen Vs Paralympic Sports: Swimming & Cycling

Welcome to the first episode of Average Disabled Jen vs Paralympic Sports!
With the Paralympics currently on in Paris I decided to try and reignite my love of sport by exploring what disability & inclusive sports are available in my local area.
I was pretty sporty before becoming disabled but have really struggled to find something that works for me so I hope sharing these ideas of what is available for the average disabled person helps you find something that might work for you and shows you you don't have to be a Paralympian to enjoy disability sport.
In this episode I try out Swimming at Everyone Active Eversley to try out their Pool Pod to help me get in and out of the water and we see if I can swim as fast as a Paralympian. Then I head to Basildon Sporting Village to try out cycling with Sport For Confidence where my support worker Eboni & I try out all the different adaptive bikes they have on offer.
Thanks so much for watching! If you liked this video please subscribe to my channel :)

I can definitely recommend sit skiing (Winter Games) with an instructor. It was like being set free and carving turns was pretty easy if you’re used to shifting your weight in your wheelchair. The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead has dedicated instructors for disabled skiers xxxx

Ar my childhood pool there was a chair that lowered but way less high tech than this one! It's cool to see that the technology for pool lifts is getting upgraded!

Just curious is that band on your arm for your heart rate? Just wondering as I've got POTS and saw something online that looked similar 😊
