Dr.\u00a0Jane Katz<\/strong>, the 1999 Paragon Award winner in recreational swimming, has joined the International Swimming Hall of Fame’s “One in a Thousand” campaign, which is aimed at supporting the hall of fame during the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

“When I was in fourth grade, me and my three siblings would get into a car and we would drive to Fort Lauderdale during Christmas, and this went on for decades. It was great because it was the only place we were able to do that as a family and have warm weather. It was lots of fun and you would see the same people and we had lots of swim meets there too. It was so great to swim outdoors and it was so special,” Jane Katz said.<\/p>\n

“It was so great to see all the stores and see the pictures of people playing beach volleyball or swimming in the water. It’s great to be some place else from where you grew up and meet people through swimming, and swimming is fantastic. We would look forward to coming to Fort Lauderdale every year and we would have a good time. I miss being there now. I used to go to the swimming hall of fame all the time because it was so fantastic!”<\/p>\n

Join the One in a Thousand Club by helping ISHOF on a monthly or one-time basis.<\/p>\n
