    “Follow 7 year old Joseph on his journey as he learns to swim and be safe in the water, mentored by Olympian Cate Campbell and Paralympian Matt Cowdrey. In Australia, drowning remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in children. Unfortunately, while many children are learning valuable swimming and water safety skills, alarmingly thousands of children are still missing out, which is putting lives at risk. Swim kids Operation 10000 is a joint initiative of UNCLE TOBYS and Royal Life Saving Society – Australia, helping raise funds to provide FREE or subsidised swimming and water safety courses to 10000 kids who would otherwise miss out.”

    Interesting interview here on SwimSwam with now former Danish head coach Paulus Wildeboer, following the criticism from Mads Glรฆsner, that Wildeboer should have ‘ruined his Olympics‘. Wildeboer disagrees, says Glรฆsner wasn’t prepared for altitude training, didn’t follow adviceย and therefore didn’t adapt properly.

    Although Glaesner was unhappy with his training leading into the Olympics Wildeboer believes strongly that the program was correct, but the results depended upon how the individual athlete decided to follow it.

    โ€œWe danced but we were more just talking,โ€ Herndon revealed of their first meeting. โ€œThere was definitely an attraction but nothing really happened that night.โ€

    Phelps and Herndon hung out again and shared their first kiss.

    He did not want to part when it was time for him to leave Cabo, so he invited her to the Bahamas where sparks ignited.

    โ€œWe were holding hands and he was putting his arm around meโ€ฆheโ€™s really caring and affectionate. He would kiss me in front of his friends. He was treating me like I was his girl,โ€ Sarah gushed.
