Imogen Clark has defied the odds to become a national record holder and one of Britain's leading female breaststrokers.
Clark was diagnosed with photosensitive epilepsy aged 14, having her first seizure whilst in the pool, which led to doctors and her mother to ask her to put a halt on her swimming ambitions.
Event managers had to be quickly informed by Imogen’s team to avoid the normal flashing cameras and dark lights, when she took her place on the podium.
Clark won 50m silver at the 2018 European Championships, just four years after her initial diagnosis, and has starred in the short-course pool at the International Swimming League.
