Across the country an overwhelming number of black youth struggle with swimming and water safety training. Twin brothers Thurman and Torrence Thomas are working to change that through their non-profit Tankproof, which provides free swimming lessons to children in their New Orleans community. Thurman and Torrence share the near-death experience that inspired their mission, and Kelly meets a Tankproof grad named Joseph who used his training to save a friend from drowning. Then, Thurman and Torrence get the surprise of a lifetime when two-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Cullen Jones commends them for their work and H-E-B grants them a $25,000 donation.
