I am an amputee swimmer, Right leg amputee, and I have joined Novaquatics in Irvine, Ca, and I am looking to go to China in 2008, and if there are any ideas from other adaptive swimmers, please let me know

There are several physically disabled athletes on my masters team. One is a right leg below the knee amputee. He swims a lot better and faster than many normal people.
Other disabled swimmers are:
2 polio victims
1 spina bifida
1 cerebral palsy
It is a joy to swim with my disabled friends. I just accompanied my friend Elisa (cerebral palsy) on her first openwater race last Saturday. She finished 2KM in 1 hour and 41 minutes.
Like Dominick says, she just thanked God for that. Amen!
Have fun poolpirate! Hope to see you on the podium in Beijing!
