We are seeking swimmers who are competing to at least county or regional level with reduced vision - defined as being unable to see beyond the top letter of an eye chart with their most effective eye, whilst wearing glasses. Have you got what it takes to represent GB at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games?

Chasing The Rio Dream: Para-Archery
Archery GB has launched a nationwide search for female recurve archers with a disability as part of their 'Chasing the Dream' campaign. Working in conjunction with the Performance Pathway Team, a collaboration between UK Sport and the English Institute of Sport, the recruitment drive seeks focused and motivated individuals who have the desire to represent Great Britain and reach the Paralympic Podium. The ultimate aim of the project is to identify those archers that have the potential to fast-track their development and compete at the 2016 Paralympic Games with a secondary aim of finding archers that can be developed for the 2020 Paralympic Games.
This campaign offers an exciting opportunity for existing recurve archers to attempt to take their performance to the next level, for compound archers to examine the possibility of transferring to the recurve bows and as an access point to sport for new archers who wish to pursue a Paralympic career.
If you are female and believe that you have the dedication and potential to reach the sport's elite as a recurve archer then sign-up.
