I found out about you guys through the drowning prevention forum.  Looked like a good cause and lots of interesting comments so I wanted to see if I can contribute.

I am workin with Mr. Bruce Wigo on the May 9th to 12th event that celebrats the 40 years anniversary of American swimming and diving team's 1973 visit to China and I am surfing on line trying to find some more information on ISHOF. I just run into this web site and thought I would be interested in joining.
