My journey being a parent of a deaf athlete brings many emotions; immense pride, heartache, anger, disbelief, worry & lots of 😤 & 🥳. @NathanY06430573 just can’t understand why @DCMS @NadineDorries @HuddlestonNigel won’t #acknowledge him. Why they #ignore him. #determination

As a parent if a deaf swimmer who has trained with @NathanY06430573 in the past as part of the @gbdeafswimming it has been excellent to see this updates on his performances. It is a shame that deaf swimmers are not given the same support as other disabled athletes.

This is amazing feat considering this fantastic elite swimmer received no recognition from UK government. It’s time for Nathan and other elite Deaf athletes from @deafsport and @DeaflympicsGB to be fully recognised and financially supported alongside @Olympics and @Paralympics

Just how amazing is my son @NathanY06430573. He’s doing the sport that he loves. That sport that saved him without any #support #funding #respect from our gov @DCMS @TNLUK @TeamSportsAid. The 5th fastest in the world. Shame on those that #isolate #discriminate deaf athletes

Deafness is a disability and competitors need to be treated equally. Ultimately these individuals are representing Great Britain and need to be able compete with the Rest of the World on an equal basis. #Equality
A few minutes spare today? Please consider how you would feel if you competed internationally against fully funded swimmers & your own country does not support you. @ChristieLinford @Sw_EngParaSwim @gbdeafswimming @wirralmetro @GEOgovuk @PriceyWFC
