Colin Russell is making his second trip to the Olympics for swimming as a member of the 4x100m relay. He  comes from a family of competitive swimmers. In fact, his sister is also competing at the Games. Prior to the last Games he has overcame shoulder surgery and the psychological issues surrounding his father's ban from swimming due to drug trafficking. He persevered and will be making his way to London this year.
