Your race is my challenge

The SDSC swimming heats is almost an annual event with variations to the categories.
Not all of them are handicapped physically; some are, mentally.

How did they managed to conquer the physique restrictions amplified by their handicap?
and how could they have overcome the fear and thread into the unknown?
or was it curiousity and that simple pure mind?
