This Insanely Fast Swimmer Has No Arms! Meet The Inspiring Abbas Karimi
Born with no arms, refugee swimmer Abbas Karimi is making a huge impact.
Abbas Karimi’s swimming journey looks very different from that of a typical elite athlete. Born without arms, Abbas fled his home country of Afghanistan at 16 and found a new home in the United States that helped him become one of the world’s top Para swimmers
His story is about following your dreams, overcoming adversity and making an impact. I had the amazing opportunity to train with Abbas for a weekend. I sat down with him to learn more about his love for swimming and how he’s making his mark on the sport.

That’s the heart of a champion. What an athlete! Those legs are strong !
F’ing awesome. This is why I absolutely love this sport.
Man this guy proves mind over matter. "Not everyone believed it , but I believed it". When he said that , it shows everything, shows his will and determination, his mind of steel. 100% RESPECT to this man!
The bravery that this takes is staggering
Bravo yes, swimming is the very best activity for all bodies but most importantly how you have managed to make it. Your very own lifetime achievement is astounding.❤ swim
In my local city meet I've seen kids with no arms and some with no legs, all the combinations you can think off and they still swim like Champs. One girl in particular had to let someone tap her fingers during backstroke for the go signal cause she was deaf, or have people put a kick board on the finishing lane in a backstroke for a kid with no arms to protect his head from the finishing line
I only learned about him two days ago, but he inspired me. If he can do it, I can too.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for introducing us to this young man of inspiration. You raise our spirits, Abbas.
두팔로도 힘든걸..감동 입니다.❤

Question is, how does he get his race suit on🤔
Humangous respect bro

My first thought was how the hell does he get out of the pool…swimming was impressive for sure but that balance is something else!
You're number one

I am a left leg above knee amputee from India, recently started learning swimming Main challenge i face with swimming is getting my next breath, whenever i try to move my head and body to get my next breath it just turn/roll around and i loss my balance maybe due to missing weight at oneside of body,do you have any suggestions for technic for it. Thank you.

No techniques to offer but many good wishes for your achieving your goals and blessings on your good soul. PS are you keeping your head down in water and only turning it with chin tucked in, not raising head? Oh, well good luck.
We need a mod, where creepers swim like that
Were there steps under him or can he really pull himself out of a pool with only his legs?? If so thats bad ass
like a dolphin
