Sporting career

Disken began participating in swimming aged 4, as a form of therapy for his cerebral palsy and started to compete in the sport at age 10.[6] He was selected to attend a development camp, along with other swimmers who were seen as having potential ahead of the 2016 Paralympics.[6]

In 2014, Disken then went on to win gold in the 50 LC backstroke event at the 2014 Australian Swimming Championships in Brisbane.[9] He made his senior international debut at the 2014 Para Pan Pacific Championships in Pasadena CA[6][10] Where he won bronze in the Men's S9 400m freestyle and gold in the Men 100 LC Meter breaststroke.[11]

He finished seventh in both events.[13] In the Men's 4x100m Medley 34 pts, he swam together with Ben Popham, Timothy Hodge, and William Martin. His team won the silver medal in a time of 4:07.70, just over a second behind the winners, RPC, who set a new world record.[14]
