At five years old, Sean Russo took up swimming to help improve his asthma. Now almost fifteen years later, Sean is representing Australia for the first time at the 2010 IPC Swimming World Championships in Eindhoven.

Competing in the 100m backstroke, 100m butterfly, 50m, 100m and 400m freestyle and the 200m individual medley, Sean is aiming to win medals as he attempts to qualify for the London Paralympic Games in 2012.

When he’s not swimming, Sean enjoys playing his Xbox 360 with friends and watching Roger Federer play tennis. He hopes to have a career in computer maintenance after what promises to be an exciting career in the pool.
