Dozens of athletes from across the Central Valley participated in a Special Olympics swimming competition at Clovis High School today. The kids have all been practicing in the water for 8 weeks, but organizers say the lessons they've learned will last a lifetime.
Michele Carmichael, meet organizer said, "They're proving to the world what capable human beings they are, and what a good job they can do in sport. And it's more than just sport, it's about family, it's about friendships."
A special awards ceremony followed today's competition, and those who got gold medals are now eligible to participate in this summer's state meet in Davis.
