Step Into Swim

This podcast is for anyone who has ever been inspired by a swimmer. It’s for people who are passionate about swimming (swimming enthusiasts) and all the benefits that come from time spent in the water. We’re going to share stories about how swimming has saved, shaped, and changed lives and why drowning prevention is so important. Join the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance’s CEO and President, Sabeena Hickman and VP, Partnerships & Development and Olympic Gold Medalist, Rowdy Gaines as they explore the importance of swimming and creating 1 million more swimmers through the Step into Swim initiative of the Pool & Hot Tub Foundation. In each episode, we will chat with athletes and experts, to uncover the connection between water and human, and why we all deserve to experience it.
