Disability: Paralysed woman swam the Channel while seasick

Paula Craig has revealed she was seasick when she completed her English Channel swim.

The former police officer, who is paralysed, was one of a six-strong relay team to complete the 22-mile (35km) crossing.

The 59-year-old said: “That was the hardest thing I have ever done, not helped by the fact that I was seasick.”

Ms Craig, from Pembrokeshire, lost the use of her legs after a bike crash 20 years ago.
