Rim Ju-song

Rim Ju-song (born 31 October 1995[1]) is a North Korean swimmer.

By the time North Korea received clearance to compete in London, it was "too late to qualify for most events, but swimming was an exception".

Rim, who did not know how to swim, began to learn the crawl stroke in April 2012, reportedly with great difficulty at first, and the breaststroke in May.

He was able to make the Games upon receiving a wildcard invitation from the International Paralympic Committee, and with financial support from the British embassy in Pyongyang.
