Overview

Linda Hockworthy returns to the pool after a recent leg amputation. Very little is known about this story. Hockworthy was an elite swimmer before losing her leg and she allowed the South West regional news team to film her return to the swimming-pool and this, in an era when para swimming did not have the recognised status it has today.
