The Dale Oen Experience with Robin Dale Oen | Inside With Brett Hawke
This week Brett welcomes Robin Dale Oen on the show to talk about his late brother Alexander Dale Oen, the Norwegian Olympic swimmer who tragically passed away in 2012 at the age of 26. Robin and Alexander grew up swimming together and dreamed of competing in the Olympics. While Robin had success as a sprinter, Alexander established himself as one of the world’s top breaststrokers, winning silver at the 2008 Olympics behind Kosuke Kitajima.
Tragically, Alexander passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition just months before the 2012 London Olympics, where he was considered a top contender. To honor his brother’s memory and legacy, Robin started the Dale Oen Foundation, which uses outdoor activities to inspire and develop youth across Norway. The foundation now has six centers around the country serving over 1,000 young people annually.

Chicago Swimmer Exercises in Frigid Lake Michigan in the Middle of Winter | CBS Chicago
Physical fitness is always important – and even in these dark, cold days of winter, it’s good to keep moving.
This week, one workout stood out in particular – courtesy of Barton Williams, a Chicagoan taking the “cold plunge” to an entirely level.
Barton Williams lives in the same building as CBS 2’s Joe Donlon in Streeterville – and got Donlon himself swimming in Lake Michigan. But unlike Donlon, Williams swims in Lake Michigan in the frigid depths of January – equipped only with a hammer and a rope, and wearing no wet suit.
