Corporal Luke Reeson and his team came under attack during a patrol in Afghanistan on November 2012. The team began to run towards a nearby helicopter when Reeson was shot. Two bullets hit his bag, but the third and fourth penertrated his body. In an interview Resson said: “I was shot in both legs, in the shin and my backside, I collapsed and fell over and everything went numb.” The injury Luke sustained meant he could no longer run anymore, an activity he deeply enjoyed. So he returned to a sport he used to excel in as a child- Swimming. He has since qualified as an ASA Level 1 Swimming Teacher and is completing his Level 2 in August. Reeson also volunteers at a local club working with children. He also helps support wounded, injured and sick servicemen and woman at Help for Heroes open pool Swimming Events.
