Rebecca Redfern is one of the most popular and richest Swimmer who was born on December 19, 1999 in Droitwich Spa, United Kingdom. Rebecca Redfern, a British para-swimmer with a visually impaired who was born 19 December 1999 in Droitwich, competes in the S13/SB13/SM13 disability classes. She holds both British and European records for 100m breaststroke in SB13 100m.
Redfern, who made her international debut at 2016 IPC Swimming European Championships, Funchal, Portugal on 3 May 2016, claimed a silver medal, narrowly missing gold to Elena Krawzow, Germany by 0.02 seconds.
2017 was a frustrating year for Redfern, when having achieved the British Swimming qualifying standard for the Para Swimming World Championships at the GB Summer National Championships in Sheffield in July 2017, the Mexican earthquake disaster meant that the Para Swimming World Championships were postponed, and British Swimming elected not to send a team to the rescheduled event. However Redfern was able to end the year well by breaking the short course world record for SB13 100m Breaststroke when she swam 1:14.80 at the Short Course Para Nationals in Manchester in December, beating the previous mark set by Kirby Cote of Canada in 2002.
2018 was equally frustrating. Redfern qualified for the European Championships in Dublin, however the SB13 100m Breaststroke event was demoted to a non medal event due to limited number of entrants. Rebeccca won the non medal event in a time of 1:15.99, her best since Rio.
Redfern was awarded the consideration time for Rio Paralympics 2016 at the 2016 British Para-Swimming International Meet, Glasgow, UK. She set a new world record in this event of 1:16.86, surpassing the previous one held by Kirby Cote, Canada, 14 years ago.
