Paul said he had not been in the pool since the Paralympics but was looking forward to taking part in his club\u2019s annual gala. \u201cI will swim on all three days of the gala and will be showing support for the disabled swimmers and my Aquabear teammates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There will be three sessions on each day of the gala. The morning session from 9am to 12pm will feature the senior heats and the disabled swimmers.
