Episode #21: Swimming Blind

Show Notes:

Have you ever wondered how do blind swimmers know to flip on their turns or how do blind swimmers know when to dive on relays? In this interview with Evan Wilkerson, Tonya learns about his journey of learning to swim as a blind athlete and what his goals are for the future. Evan shares some of the tips he’s learned about training in the pool when you can’t see the lines at the bottom of the pool and talks about what it takes to qualify for the Paralympics.

Questions for Evan can be sent to info@waterprairie.com with “Episode 21” in the subject line.
