She spent the first 18 years of her life in the country\u2019s fourth-most populous city before attending college at Texas A&amp;M, less than 100 miles northwest. The only time she ever really moved away was when she spent two years training with a group of professionals in Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n<p>After she stopped\u00a0swimming following her second Olympics in 2016, she moved back to Houston. And on Aug. 24, she was buckled down at her home not far from downtown when Hurricane Harvey hit.<\/p>\n<p>The Category 4 storm caused floods that ravaged the city, causing upwards of $50 billion in damages. Adams\u2019 house was unscathed, but other homes as close as one mile away were washed out by an overflowing bayou.<\/p>\n<p>In the weeks since, the city has been pushing towards a return to normal, but it hasn\u2019t been a quick road. Adams was scheduled to start her job teaching sixth grade reading at Hamilton Middle School Aug. 28, but the start of the year had to be pushed back two weeks due to the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Across the city, thousands of people lost everything\u2014and that included swimmers. So Adams decided to do something about it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cObviously I wanted to do something to give back to all these families, and being in the swimming world, I thought, \u2018How many swimmers have been displaced?\u2019\u201d Adams said.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adams realized that what swimmers needed the most was, quite simply, to be able to swim, but so many no longer had the the most basic\u00a0swimming equipment. So she organized a donation drive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_164139\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-164139\" data-attachment-id=\"164139\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/after-hurricane-harvey-olympian-cammile-adams-gives-back-to-her-city\/cammile-adams-8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cammile-adams-duel-2015-1805-e1453075951134.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1542,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cammile-adams-duel-2015 1805\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-29-16&lt;br \/&gt;\ncammile-adams- 200 Fly, 2015, Duel in the Pool, Swimmers&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Peter H.

If any equipment goes unused, Adams has pledged to send any unused equipment that she receives to a team or an LSC in Florida, where Hurricane Irma has made landfall this weekend, for the swimmers there that, inevitably, will have lost everything.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to\u00a0her equipment drive, Adams will participate in two charity events to raise funds for swimming families in the area.<\/p>\n<p>On September 24, she and fellow U.S. Olympian <strong>Allison Schmitt<\/strong> will host an event called \u201cRace an Olympian\u201d at Westside High School. The event is organized by Fitter and Faster, but it is not a clinic.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/hurricane-harvey-fundraising-event-for-swimmers-houston-tx-not-a-clinic-registration-37555442339\" target=\"_blank\">the registration page for the event<\/a>, \u201c100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Gulf Swimming Local Swim Committee-area swim families identified by the LSC&#8217;s team coaches. Donations will be distributed through Energy Core Swimming, a 501c3 swim team organization in Houston.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On top of the $50 registration fee, anyone can add additional donations, and Adams has also set up an email address (<a href=\"mailto:contactcammile@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">contactcammile@gmail.com<\/a>) where anyone can email her to donate (but not to sign up for the event).<\/p>\n<p>Why is Schmitt, who has no connection to Houston, coming? Because Adams felt that Schmitt could be an uplifting presence at a time when people in Houston needed just that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_210819\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210819\" data-attachment-id=\"210819\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/6-things-to-take-away-from-a-bad-meet\/allison-schmitt-19\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/allison-schmitt-2016-o-trials-10801.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

She embodies everything that you would want to be around at a time like this . She\u2019s so positive and uplifting, and her smile is contagious. Everybody can use some Allison Schmitt in their lives, but especially these swimmers and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One week after the &#8220;Race an Olympian&#8221; event, Adams will participate in another fundraising opportunity within the Gulf Swimming LSC\u2019s \u201cSwimposium\u201d event.<\/p>\n<p>Among Houston\u2019s swimming community, Adams has some notoriety as an Olympian, and over this month, amid the biggest tragedy to hit the city in recent memory, Adams has found a way to put that fame to good use.<\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s deeply grateful to have the opportunity to provide help and to be a source of inspiration during what has been such a difficult time for so many people.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cIt means a lot,\u201d she said. \u201cI really felt like we needed to do something in the swimming world, and this was kind of the best avenue to do so. I wanted something that was going to directly affect the swimmers that have been displaced, and I felt like this was going to be the most direct way to help out those swimmers.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, Adams has not been the only Houston-area professional athlete going out of the way to make a huge difference for others. Most notable has been Houston Texas star defender <strong>JJ Watt<\/strong>, who <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JJWatt\/status\/901919278072561665\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted out his goal to raise $200,000 on Aug. 27<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That initial goal was met in less than two hours, so Watt kept upping his aims. As of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JJWatt\/status\/906508569419436032\" target=\"_blank\">the last update<\/a>, on Sept. 9, the total amount raised was upwards of $30 million.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, Adams\u2019 efforts likely won\u2019t make that kind of monetary impact\u2014most Olympic swimmers don\u2019t have quite the name-brand recognition of NFL stars\u2014but for those in Houston\u2019s swimming community who see her, a home-grown Olympian, as a hero, she could make all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morning Splash\u00a0by David Rieder.
