Diagnosed with neuromuscular myopathy and associated limb deformities as a child, Ollie Hynd was unsure what impact this disability would have on his future. However, through the power of sport and swimming, he gained many opportunities he may not have otherwise experienced.

His career started with a bang, debuting at the 2011 IPC European Championships, where he won his first gold medal. Many medals would follow in the 200m individual medley, the 400m freestyle, and 100m backstroke across the Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games, World Championships, and European Championships.
