James Crisp, born on 11 October 1982 in Nottingham, is a British swimmer who competes in S9 classification events after contracting polio as a child through vaccination. He was encouraged to take up swimming as a form of physiotherapy, moved to Sheffield to study at university and joined the City of Sheffield Swim Squad, training at Ponds Forge. He has won gold medals at the Paralympic Games as well as at IPC world and European championships, breaking numerous records in the process. His English Wikipedia lead does not give a count of his Paralympic golds, so that figure is left open here until a source that states it is found.
