David Ellis (swimmer)

Aquatic Sports

David Ellis is a retired British swimmer who won five Paralympic gold medals. He was the highest performing British athlete at the 1968 Summer Paralympics in Tel Aviv, winning two golds and a silver there. His English Wikipedia article is very short, and it gives no birth date, no list of his other medals and no account of his background, so this entry records only what it states and leaves the rest until a source that covers them in more detail is found. The article does not name the Games at which his other golds were won.
