From wiggling his toe to moving his arms, one Woodhaven swimmer’s long road to beating paralysis
Cooper’s home away from home has always been the pool. As a member of the Woodhaven High School swim team, the student practically grew up in the water. But the challenges the soon-to-be junior high school student faces won’t just be setting personal records at swim meets, but learning how to walk again.
It was during a dive not into a school swimming pool, but into his family’s backyard pool when the accident happened.
“When he dove he hit his chest and his neck,” said Savannah, gestured to where he landed. “Right there Cooper came up, realized ‘I can’t swim, I couldn’t move my body,’ he started flaring his arms.”

Cristina Zenato needs only two words to describe sharks—nature’s masterpiece. A professional diver in the Bahamas, she loves sharks. Especially the Caribbean reef sharks that flourish around Grand Bahama Island thanks in large part to her efforts to protect them. The sharks swim right up to the woman known as the Shark Dancer and nuzzle against her while she pets them like they’re dogs or cats. We take a dive off Grand Bahama Island with Zenato to learn how she built such a strong bond with these beautiful creatures.
