Cortney Jordan wasn’t good at swimming. Until she was. The 12-time medalist has been to three Paralympic games, where she’s racked up one gold, 8 silvers and 3 bronzes for Team USA. Cortney has cerebral palsy, and she talked about growing up swimming against able-bodied athletes, which at times both discouraged and motivated her. Cortney didn’t know people with disabilities growing up, and she talked about the impact it had on her when she was finally introduced to the Paralympics.

Cortney is also a fourth-grade teacher, and she talked about the times she's wanted to give up swimming, and inspiring her students.
