Clinton is swimming in medals CLINTON Stanley swam the race of his life to win Gold and take out the title of 1500m World Champion at the 5 th World Down Syndrome Swimming Championships in Taiwan smashing his PB by 36 seconds with a time of 23.18.64. A gutsy swim considering he was nearly withdrawn from the race due to illness. This outstanding achievement caps off what has been a long and successful swimming career for this dedicated, quiet achiever. Clinton has been competing in the pool for 17 years and at 34 shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, he is just getting better and better. He set many personal best times in the lead up to this event, winning 11 medals in international competition before advancing into the World Competition (finals) winning another 8 World Medals, 4 Gold, 3 Silver, 1 Bronze and setting two World Records. This was Clinton’s 6th time wearing the Green and Gold representing Australia. Over his swimming career he has won 38 World Medals 13 National Medals 72 State Medals and 42 Down Syndrome World Records in various strokes and distances.
