}}Peter Alan Stuart Leek, OAM[1] (born 27 September 1988)[2] was an Australian swimmer with ataxic cerebral palsy, who won eight medals at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics.[2]

Early life

Leek was born in the Sydney suburb of Blacktown. He began swimming at the age of eight to aid his disability.[3] He was a member of Ripples St Marys Swimming Club for 13 years. He attended Oxley Park Public School during his primary school years, and then Colyton High School.[4]

Career

His debut in major international competition was at the 2006 IPC Swimming World Championships in Durban, South Africa where he won two gold, two silver and one bronze medals.[3]

At the 2008 Beijing Games in his Paralympic debut, he won three gold medals in the Men's 100 m Butterfly S8, Men's 200 m Individual Medley SM8, and Men's 4 × 100 m Medley 34 pts events, for which he received a Medal of the Order of Australia,[1] four silver medals in the Men's 50 m Freestyle S8, Men's 4 × 100 m Freestyle 34 pts, Men's 400 m Freestyle S8, and Men's 100 m Backstroke S8 events, and a bronze medal in the Men's 100 m Freestyle S8 event.[5] He broke four world records and four Paralympic records.[3]

He competed in the 2010 IPC Swimming World Championships, held in Eindhoven, Netherlands where he won six gold medals and one silver medal.[3] Leek's medals helped Australia's national Paralympic swim team finish sixth overall.

He missed the 2010 Commonwealth Games due to glandular fever.[6] Leek did not return to the pool following this illness. Leek turned to a different passion and graduated from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor of Applied Economics. Following his graduation, Peter began working as a management consultant in health, ageing and human services at KPMG Australia. Leek considers his graduation as one of his greatest achievements.[7]

He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship recipient.[8]

Leek is also a committee member for the Friends of Brain Injured Children ACT organisation in Australia.[9]
