Paraplegic swimmer an inspiration

Edmonton's Chelsea Donelon was in a car accident in August 2007 that left her a paraplegic and killed her mother and her grandparents. She now uses a wheelchair but still manages to be a member of the Strathcona High School swim team. She uses her incredible upper-body strength to compete against able-bodied swimmers.

Its amazing that she can do this....I personally would be scared if i went under and hit the bottom and couldn't push up with my legs, She has no fear what so ever, i know she's in a controlled pool, but idk if i'd be able to do this.....amazing.
