Tracey Barber (nee Wiscombe)

Tracy was a pupil at Balwearie HS when she was introduced to DSF in the 90s. She remains to this day the most successful Scottish athlete with a learning disability ever to compete in international sport.

Tracy was a European, World and Paralympic Champion. She held world records and represented GB in Atlanta and Sydney winning 2 gold,1 silver and 2 bronze swimming medals. The exclusion of S14 swimmers from the Games post Sydney deprived her of further international honours. A great champion who shattered so many records during her career.

Tracy’s Scottish records remain targets for the younger generation of Scots.
