Terence Parkin, the Olympic silver medallist from Sydney 2000, has announced plans of a comeback to competitive swimming.
The deaf swimmer, who turns 32 in April, has not ruled out a bid to qualify for the London Olympic Games later this year.
Parkin took the first major steps towards a return last month when he swam at a two-day international swimming invitational in Durban.
Meanwhile: Port Elizabeth's paralympic gold-medal winning swimmer Kevin Paul is preparing flat out for the London Paralympic qualifiers in April.
The NMMU law-student says it will be different this time round as he's a marked man, whereas he was an unkown schoolboy in 2008 when he went to Beijing and won gold in the 100-metre breastroke.
