This profile used to be on the QAS website, http://www.uq.net.au/~zzqas/profiles/swimming.htm, which unfortunately has vanished without trace. However, here is Kieren's profile, (with its accompanying photo!) there were some for other swimmers but those have gone, sorry. By the looks of things the profile dates from late 1995.
