Float Like A Duck water safety initiative presented three-time Olympic Gold
Medalist Rowdy Gaines with the Water Safety Hero Award for going above and
beyond to promote water safety through his actions and programs.

Two-time International Swimming Hall of Fame inductee, Gaines has leveraged
his personal achievements in swimming to inspire others, encourage swimming
activity and advocate for water safety. Known as the "Voice of Swimming"
and "Swimming's Greatest Ambassador", his appointment as the leader of the
PHTA Step Into Swim initiative in 2021 sparked a major turning point for the
association and its efforts in water safety.

His passion for swimming and rally cry for water safety has influenced
manufacturers and pool companies to aid the Step Into Swim program with
generous financial contributions, supporting grants for no-cost swim
programs across the US.

Float Like A Duck under the auspices of Paragon Pools Las Vegas established
the awards program to recognize Water Safety Heroes across the globe as part
of the organization's ongoing efforts to enhance a culture of water safety.
