The Conversation About Olympic Swimmers
In my previous post I told the story of the day Donovan met Ryan Lochte. I'm going to tell you a little more about Donovan leading up to that day.
To begin with, when Donovan first started swimming for Special Olympics it was a complete struggle to complete one length of the pool without stopping 10 times. Seriously, 10 times. Our hope was for him to swim a 25 freestyle by State Games. I honestly was not sure if that was going to happen. It was a struggle but neither one of us gave up.
