11-Year-Old Saved Friend From Drowning Thanks To Free Swim Lessons
Jun 07 2021
Across the country an overwhelming number of black youth struggle with swimming and water safety training. Twin brothers Thurman and Torrence Thomas are working to change that through their non-profit Tankproof, which provides free swimming lessons to children in their New Orleans community. Thurman and Torrence share the near-death experience that inspired their mission, and Kelly meets a Tankproof grad named Joseph who used his training to save a friend from drowning. Then, Thurman and Torrence get the surprise of a lifetime when two-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Cullen Jones commends them for their work and H-E-B grants them a $25,000 donation.
