    Résumé:

    When her leg was amputated following an horrific scooter accident in 2001, South African swimming sensation Natalie du Toit literally dived right back into swimming. In 2002 Natalie swam the able-bodied 800m freestyle final at the Commonwealth Games, making history and becoming a South African icon. Swimming in both able-bodied and disabled events, Natalie has continued to win hearts (and medals) and, most recently, broke another two records at the 2006 Paralympic World Cup in Manchester. Refusing to give up on her dream, Natalie is now training for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Tumble Turn is her story.
