    Who is coaching these kids to be not only good swimmers but instilling in them a sense of compassion, team spirit and caring toward each other? Kudos to the Y for hiring such talent.

    Way to go Nathan! He had two surgeries and radiation and at the end of the interview he says how lucky he is and that he has a great life. The world needs more people like You. So inspiring.
