Barnet Copthall swimmers Chris Holmes and Marc Woods will be going for gold in the Paralympics in Sydney in October.

Holmes has already gained a total of nine golds in Paralympic races for the partially-sighted, in Seoul (1988), Barcelona (1992) and Atlanta (1996).

He holds world records for the 50m freestyle, short course and long course, and the 100m freestyle long course.

Woods competes in the amputee section, and holds world records for the 400m freestyle, short course and long course.

Woods, who competed in the Atlanta Parlympics, returned to Barnet Copthall last year, joining the Masters Section, and is determined to strike gold in Sydney.
