Scott Lautman recently brought home 13 medals in the ice swimming competition hosted by the International Winter Swimming Association in Vladivostok, Russia. Scott has a long love of swimming which extends back to training for the 1980 Olympic trials. He had some knee pain and eventually was diagnosed with a bone tumor on his left femur that crushed his Olympic dreams. A new goal emerged: to beat the disease. Now a cancer survivor, he enjoys the simple sensation of moving through the water. He swims for the organization Swim Across America to raise money through swimming for people with cancer. In this episode of AdventShorts you will hear Scott's reflections on swimming, a sport he's loved for more than 50 years, and how he has found himself in this niche world of ice swimming.
Thanks for listening!
