“Swimmer Bill” to Appear on Food Network

PORTLAND, Oregon, October 14. BILL Volckening, USMS Editor for SWIM Magazine, is scheduled to appear on the cable television Food Network as a special
guest on the "Cooking Thin" show.

In 2002, Volckening (A.K.A. “Swimmer Bill”) lost 70 pounds swimming daily and following along with Cooking Thin and celebrity host Chef Kathleen Daelemans. He has successfully maintained the weight loss during the past year.

“Swimming is the only exercise I do,” says Volckening. “The myth that you can’t lose weight by swimming is exactly that – a myth.”

Volckening will appear on the “Success Stories” special, which is rumored to include some Masters swimming meet footage.

"Success Stories" (from the Food Network) — It's a dinner party for big losers as Kathleen Daelemans pulls the stops out for graduates of the "Cooking Thin" way of life. There's Swimmer Bill, Lisa Woods,
Roberta Brecher, and Mangia Maria and her husband. We'll discover their secrets and share an elegant meal.
