I’m a Paralympic Swimmer | My Life ★ Glam.com

[@dylbeeson145]

I've swam with the girl she mentors! She is one of the fastest swimmers I've met, she swims against girls with both full legs, and places first all the time.

[@jonessandy8259]

I have so much admiration and respect for Paralympic athletes who work twice as hard plus why would any person possibly think they're not real athletes?!

Humanity is incredible. I used to row and swim with para athletes and they make me so proud of the athletic communities I was/am in.

My friend from swimming is missing half a leg and she's going to the Canadian Olympic trials next week

[@arsenal1926]

heyyitsjlu well, did she make it?

[@maakaylaas]

This is such an inspiration to me. I started swimming a year ago at 15 and wish I could've started sooner! I always feel as though I am not good enough, but this just shows me that I can do what I put my mind too. ❤️

[@MikeRoberts1964]

Good enough for what? You need to measure yourself against yourself; are you better than you were a month ago? If you are, that's all you need to know to be proud of your progress.

[@angiehoran2421]

She has inspired me so much❤️

[@First6Blood]

Holy cow. Those fake legs that were used at the gym They looked so real

[@reeffle]

her butterfly is so amazing and smooth omgg ilyyy. Im 12 and im turning 13 next year (2018 xD) on 31st jan and i've been swimming since 2012 and i have stopped for almost 8 months but now im gonna start again and i'll be happy!! You give me amazing amount of motivation 🙌

[@amandamaz1941]

Very inspiring!!!!What a beautiful young lady!!!!

[@luv15brown19]

Oh my gosh....I complain that I can't swim well...but this is simply amazing

[@olgaserebriakova]

Amazing girl. So wonderful that parents from the US adopted her (I can't imagine what would happend to her in Russia - poverty, depression, and zero possibilities). Good luck Jessica. And all the best to your parents.

[@jillianweitz9303]

She's so pretty and such an inspiration keep doing what you love ❤️

[@thejollyboy3913]

I was inspired by her. I love her ! 💜

[@EmilyGreys]

This is awesome!

[@Olivia-nf4zr]

her swimming butterfly is so impressive because in order to get your arms above the water you have to have a really strong kick

[@dinatik3012]

, you so good and kind

[@l.pmoonstone5067]

I kinda hate to say this, and i hope no one takes this as offence, but i really believe her being given for adoption was a blessing in disguise.

[@youplusmeislove]

+L.P Moonstone it definitely was

[@despyl348]

It is but inside you know she was given up for adoption because of her legs

[@MikeRoberts1964]

I think that's pretty much a given...

[@user-0xDEEDBEEF]

It simply saved her life.

[@disneyprincessintraining2725]

It was for sure! And it's good that she was able to get parents that love and support her.

[@fatine]

a beautiful real life mermaid

[@celisha79]

Wow she's amazing I can't swim that well and I have both of my whole legs

[@madiconnell5929]

She’s AWESOME!

[@sharrthapa4733]

Very nice. God bless all.

[@Purpleweirdo111]

Jessica I look up to you so much one day I want to be a swimmer just like you and do amazing stuff like this😉😉😊

[@Jason-rt3in]

Respect the grind. Amazing

[@fediaagran2915]

respect pretty lady 🌷 you inspire me ❤

[@swimrays4012]

Like her I am a swimmer but am not an ampute but I do consider I work harder than everyone else to show who is at the top and from that work I competed in my first 11and up meet and came out 9 th in finals (I was also the youngest)

[@nerdspawn4299]

OMG so inspirational.

[@ellolass1776]

how is walking. is it hard

[@samreilly7152]

I wonder how she does starts? (Not backstroke)

[@flyboymic7182]

Sweeeeeet so good for her, water is seriously healing‼️ I have Multiple Sclerosis and I'm a swimmer myself, I can do fly back i.m. It's just what I've been doing alllllllll my life swimming,,,, I am able to do 50 meter and 100 meter with good timing, freestyle just under 40 sec's

[@saralopez2691]

Amazing.

[@salmansadikh]

Respect ✊

[@rosaxxxify]

inspiring

[@erwinb3412]

Waauw , what an amazing person . What a strong personality . Jessica , i wish you all the best in life , which i believe you live to the fullest , despite your terrible handicap . I'm sorry you were given up for adoption , but if that was because of your disability it does not necessarily means that your parents did not love you . Maybe they were poor , or sick , or had problems themselves , and could not cope with more problems . Maybe later when you visit them , if they still live , they will embrace you . That is the real test . Furthermore , if i might add , you are a beautiful woman . All the best Jessica , take care .

[@suparnashantagiri3885]

Love ur butterfly

[@rebeccabeeney1380]

I have a swimming competition today...wish me luck!

[@betty5064]

Trying to "Like " this -but it won't take. Well done, Jessica,

[@DYLANV__]

Respect 💪👍

[@gretakch2540]

She has beautiful legs!👏🏼

[@luiginomattyu4145]

Che forza per la vita. ..e ci sono io che non riesco a uscire dalla depressione da 3 anni. ..

[@colombianflag717]

Jessica you're so beautiful... best of lucks.

[@ЛидияКозлова-е1э]

Бог в помощь тебе, Джессика!

[@lb1203]

Now why wouldn't she be able to go to the regular Olympics? It seems like she would easily be able to compete against fully capable swimmers... I've been curious about that for a while, why some of the paralympic athletes don't also do regular Olympics.

[@JeniKayla]

Yes, I understand she has a "disability" but I don't think it hinders her in a way she could not compete with "regular people"

[@cbernier3]

why? shed lose by a lot that way.

[@KrikitKaos]

Do you not watch regular Olympic swimming? Starting with the simple dive into the pool, she'd be left behind immediately. If you think swimmers don't use their lower legs and feet, I'm not sure what you're smoking.

[@lb1203]

Honestly I didn't even think about that... Good point. I don't actually watch the Olympics very often. Surprising, I know.

[@KrikitKaos]

Laurelle Burton I now wish I had phrased my response more politely. Well done. :)

[@helmijunna7223]

if this girl had the rest of her legs she would be like a female Michael Phelps

[@madisonwagner188]

Someone teach me how to make those water O's at the beginning xD

[@blakleymurfree3568]

Hello I know that this was probably posted waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before I typed this but Jessica came to my school today P.S. that is my mom in the picture

[@flyboymic7182]

My wife is Japanese and was married in Japan, and was thinking of representing Japan in men's para Olympic ,,,,, anything is possible right❓

[@hannahjones6342]

Some people have no idea how many muscles they have. They are as fast as a "regular person" and they only have art of both legs.

[@TheBabyabroad]

im from sybeiria russia too

[@alicehallam8247]

Damaged legs, perfect heart. 🙂

[@bretttalbott7892]

Beautiful in every way. Too bad Im married!!!😊

[@svetlana2505]

In Russland war sie im Kinderheim ,keine Liebe bekommen.In USA bekamm sie alles,was mich auch sehr fruet für dieses Mädchen.Alles gute in diesem Leben❤

[@kit1063]

Where my swimmers at?

[@deathismercy2006]

It doesn't mean she is different she can't do what she loves,I personally wear artificial knees usually because my knees...

[@colombianflag717]

You're beautiful

[@aimeeleigh7894]

Poor lady

[@victoriapencheva7231]

that's rude

[@squidneythesquid2487]

Vicky P It's not rude, but I don't think we should feel bad for her.

[@katiecost3230]

She can do fly better than I can but she doesn't have any legs: my one question HOW

[@EkaraLibrae]

Nice butterfly :) I move better with a fin on [above knee amputee] :)

[@SoBlissedOut]

She was born without the bones in her legs because she was meant to be a mermaid. 🧜🏼‍♀️

[@fernandaelizabethbochesoto7553]

She remember me to a thin Rebel Wilson, wtf 😂 Btw she is so cool. 😍

[@roldanguevarra3755]

I'm here because of PE 4 . . .

[@tctsstudios627]

what else they show? i'm a drug dealer? huh huh huh huh huh huh.
