EverywhereAll swim teams and anyone who loves to swim can participate in the 2nd Annual Wet Brett Swim Challenge.
Participants will wear a t-shirt while swimming making it more difficult to move through the water. The hope is this will give swimmers a very small look into the physical challenges those with FOP face every day.
Swim teams and individual swimmers are raising funds to support FOP research.
