WHERE SWIMMING IS CHANGING
LIVES.
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
IT'S VERY COLD.
WITH EVERY --
Reporter: WITH EVERY STROKE,
THESE SWIMMERS GET CLOSER AND
CLOSER.
WE MET AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN
WITH A PASSION FOR SWIMMING.
SWIMMING IS MY GAME.
IT'S --
MEET THIS MAN BORN WITH DOWN
SYNDROME.
HIS FAMILY NEVER LET HIS
DISABILITY KEEP HIM OUT OF THE
WATER.
INSTEAD, IT BROUGHT HIM IN.
IT STARTED WHEN HE WAS NINE
MONTHS OLD.
TO SWIM.
HE COULDN'T HOLD HIS HEAD VERY
WELL.
I FIGURED THAT WOULD DO IT.
ANDY'S MOM WAS RIGHT.
BY THE AGE OF SIX, HE WAS
COMPETING WITH USA SWIMMING.
AT 9, HE JOINED THE SPECIAL
OLYMPICS.
TODAY, HE IS AT THE HALL OF
FAME.
HONORED AT THE SB'S, WORLD
RECORDS FOR ATHLETE AND HAS
EVEN MET SEVERAL PRESIDENTS.
EVERYBODY SAID THAT -- I AM
STILL.
INQUIRED -- ACQUIRED COURAGE
. HE ACQUIRED DETERMINATION.
DEDICATION, EVERYTHING THAT YOU
SIMPLIFY WHAT A SPORTS PERSON
REALLY AND TRULY HAS TO BE.
BECAUSE THE TREMENDOUS ROLE
SWIMMING HAS PLAYED IN HIS
LIFE, HIS MOTHER'S -- MOTHER
WANTS OTHER CHILDREN WITH
DISABILITIES TO BENEFIT.
THAT'S WHY THEY CREATED --
CREATED BAY WATCHERS, A FREE
SWIMMING PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE
WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
DOWN SYNDROME IS GAINING
WEIGHT.
NOT A LOT OF COORDINATION.
AND SWIMMING JUST DIRECTS TO
THAT.
YOU KEEP GOING.
ONE OF SEVERAL COACHES WHOSE
THE -- WHO DOES NOT LET
DISABILITIES GET IN HER WAY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
IT'S ESPECIALLY FOR THAT.
MENTALLY, THEY ARE BRILLIANT.
PHYSICALLY, THEY FEEL BETTER.
THEY EAT BETTER.
THEY GET DISCIPLINED.
Reporter: ALTHOUGH ALL THESE
SWIMMERS DON'T ALL STRIVE TO BE
OLYMPIANS, HIS GOAL IS TO MAKE
THEM ALL CHAMPIONS IN AND OUT
OF THE WATER.
MAYBE THEY COULD BE A
LIFEGUARD OR A SWING TEACHER.
AND THEN -- SWIMMING TEACHER.
AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE
INDEPENDENT.
THEY ARE AMAZING.
THEY WILL BE COMPETING IN WORLD
OF DOWN SYNDROMES WITH SWIMMERS
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
HE WILL BE REPRESENTING TEAM
USA.
WE, OF COURSE, WISH ANDY THE
BEST OF LUCK., ANDY.
