So you are a “want-to-be” Olympic Swimmer, or maybe just want to meet an Olympic Swimmer, huh? Well now here’s your chance to have a little of both… All you need to do is go down to Miami, Florida on April 17th and sign-up for The Nike Swim Miami 2010. This event will have some Olympic Gold Medalists in attendance along with a lot of just fantastic non-Olympic open water swimmers. You’ll be able to go up against swimmers in both a 5K and 10K distance. So you say that you are not a USA Swimming or US Master’s Swimming member, no problem! The event is open to all people.
Now that you get to swim with and against Gold Medal Swimmers, how can this event get any better? It is even better because the proceeds benefit the H2O’s Foundation. This foundation teaches thousands of South Florida kids in urban communities how to swim and also provides them career opportunities in aquatics. Provides the kids with self-confidence and helps reduce their chance of drowning, cool!
