Irish Paralympic hopeful Leo Hynes went to great lengths to ensure his training stayed on track during lockdown by building a swimming pool in his front garden in Tuam, Co Galway.
Mr Hynes had hoped to qualify for the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo, which have now been postponed to next year due to the coronavirus.
He aims to qualify to compete in the triathlon event at the tournament. After being diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration in 2009, Mr Hynes is now legally blind.
After Covid-19 restrictions meant swimming pools were closed, and the two-metre distancing advice ruled out open water swimming as that involves being tethered to a guide, he went in search of another way to keep on top of his swimming training.
