Finding Freedom in the Pool

Thirty years ago, a child was denied admission to a swimming school because of his disability. But 1 courageous coach reached out to help. What started with these 2 people has now grown into a school with more than 300 students, and produced a Paralympic medalist. Through it all, the coach has been there for children who had nowhere else to go, and for their anguished parents. We trace a journey of passionate dedication.
