Jane Grant by Paul Floyd Blake

Different Strokes brings together Paul Floyd Blake’s photographs of three remarkable female swimmers: thirteen year-old Danielle Bailey – a potential Paralympics Champion – swimming at The Hydro in Harrogate; portraits of teenage swimmer Rosie Bancroft; and images of Jane Grant at Starbeck Baths. This exhibition challenges perceptions of disability and describes the joy that comes from swimming.
