Find Love in the Pool: Austin Williamson, EP 221

Austin Williamson has found love as a fresh addition to the world of master swimming. Austin's story is anything but typical; at age 37, originally seeking to improve his swimming skills for competing in an Ironman event, he found himself diving headfirst into the world of competitive swimming. It was not just the thrill of the race that captivated him, but also the profound impact on his health, particularly his long-standing back problems. The techniques and strength developed through swimming have provided Austin with relief and a newfound love for the sport.

The conversation with Austin is not only inspiring, but it's also infectious. His passion for swimming, his dedication to mastering the techniques, and his joy at finding a sport that doubles as a remedy for health issues, is profoundly uplifting. What makes Austin's story even more compelling is his testament to the lifelong benefits of swimming, inspired by fellow masters swimmer Willard Lamb who continued to break records well into his 100s. 

Austin swims for the iconic Masters Swim Coach Jim Miller as as member of Virginia Masters Swim Team and the River City workout group.
