He grew up in Waldorf, Maryland with his mother, father, and two siblings. From a young age, he loved being in the water. Fast forward to 2020, and Lawrence can be found on the USA Paralympic Team and the National Team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe hardest part of the journey is convincing people to give him a chance,&#8221; said Dee Sapp. &#8220;He\u2019s got the natural talent, but the technical work, the other social cues, and things like that, are what takes extra special people to want to do a little extra on that side.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawrence\u2019s mom expressed that finding the right people to surround Lawrence and guide him in his swimming presented some obstacles because of his cognitive challenges. After joining Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club in Alexandria, Virginia, he found his rhythm and ultimately found his success in swimming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, Dee received a letter from the Paralympic team. They wanted to talk to her about possibly getting Lawrence on the team because he was registered as a swimmer with a disability. She ignored the letter at first because she was hesitant there wouldn\u2019t be enough competition in the Paralympic world, and that&#8217;s what Lawrence thrives on. Upon careful consideration, she returned their call a month later and agreed to try out a meet. After swimming his first Paralympic meet and encountering the same high standard of competition as in regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaswimming.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USA Swimming<\/a> meets, Lawrence decided he wanted to continue and try to make the Paralympic team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_448011\" style=\"width: 530px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-448011\" data-attachment-id=\"448011\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sapp2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sapp2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"520,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Lawrence Sapp\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Lawrence Sapp&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Dee Sapp&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sapp2-520x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sapp2.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-448011\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Sapp2-520x500.jpg\" alt=\"Lawrence Sapp\" width=\"520\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-448011\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Dee Sapp<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the World Para Swimming Allianz Championships in London in 2019, Lawrence swam one of his most memorable swims ever. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His 100 butterfly race in the finals got him the Quad A USA Swimming cut, the NCSA cut, and he earned his spot for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. He was seeded sixth for the race and came out with a silver medal. Dee describes this race as his opportunity: \u201cThat swim opened the door for so many things.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of Lawrence\u2019s achievements aren\u2019t just from his work inside the pool, his family has also been a big part of where he is today. His mother, in particular, has to use her voice to make sure he is in the right environment to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cOftentimes, he will advocate for himself, but I\u2019m better able to articulate what his needs are,&#8221; she said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawrence is lucky to have this kind of support in his corner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The future is bright for Lawrence as he keeps working toward his goals of swimming on a collegiate swim team and making it to Tokyo. Being so young, he also has his sights set on the 2024 and 2028 Paralympics. Swimming has allowed Lawrence to grow as a person, athlete, and student. With his determination and competitive drive, this is only the beginning of his success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paralympic Swimming: A Parent&#8217;s Perspective By Sadie Jones, Swimming World Intern Since the age of 12, Dee Sapp knew her son had a talent for swimming.
