Swimtastic!!! This is how swimming made a difference in life. Imagine how proud her first swimming instructor is of her. Life has purpose! Great idea Regina. I am all for it. How can we reach out to her? Can you do any leg work on that?

Wow that is an amazing story of determination and staying focused while in a horrible life or death situation. If not for her ability to swim, she may not have been so fortunate. Great idea to have her speak at the next convention.
