== Personal life ==
Walter Wu was born on 14 August 1972 in Vancouver, British Columbia.〔 He is classified as S13 because of optic nerve dysfunction, meaning that he is considered to be legally blind. At the age of eight, he moved to Richmond, British Columbia where he still resides today. After trying a variety of sports, Wu finally settled with swimming. He wanted to swim "because it was an individual sport; if
you fail it’s because of yourself; if you excel it’s because of yourself" Wu said. Since retiring from competition in 2004,
Wu has given a speech at a local school part of the RCMP’s Sports Event which brings athletes to schools to give inspiration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.richmond-news.com/paralympic-medalist-inspires-young-muslims-1.648159 )〕Wu also has a part-time job at Home Depot which he has been sponsored.〔 He worked three years in the phone centre and has been doing shipping and receiving work since 2004. He won the BC Disabled Athlete of the Year, was featured in the Terry Fox Hall of Fame and was a torchbearer at the 2010 Winter Paralympics.
