BE SAFE; HAVE FUN; ADULTS - LEARN TO SWIM FROM OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST MISTY HYMAN


Guest:  Misty Hyman, 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist - 200m Butterfly


April is "Adult Learn-To-Swim Month," a nationwide campaign launched by the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation to reduce the number of adult drownings. The majority of drowning victims today are adults, and a few simple tips can turn a non-swimmer into someone who can be safe, become fit, and have fun in the water.

On this program, Olympic Gold Champion Misty Hyman, shares her personal story and teaches us how to perform the free style, back stroke, breast stroke and butterfly. Your arms and legs will be moving as you listen to Misty's step-by-step instructions.

No one is too old to learn to swim or improve their swimming skills.  Go to the U.S. Masters Swimming Organization website for more information - www.usms.org.
