Scott Quin
Scott was born premature, five weeks,
With his brain fused to his skull,
It was Crouzon syndrome, dysostosis,
And doctors operated to null.
He was a strong wee tike and survived,
Edinburgh born, 1st July 1990,
S14, SB14 and SM14 are his categories,
Which he embraces fully.
At the Royal Commonwealth Pool he trains,
Under Kris Gilchrist tough,
His breakthrough swim was in Manchester,
2011, British Champs rough.
The games at the London Aquatics Centre,
Saw him swim into fifth,
That was in 2012; now he’s won medals,
With an International cloth.
2014 and Eindhoven in the Netherlands,
Scott sealed the silver;
2015 Glasgow at the World Championships,
Scott won another silver.
In Portugal’s Funchal at the Europeans,
He loudly struck the gold,
And then in Rio in the 100m breaststroke,
A silver he did hold.
