"When I thought Hayato how to swim backstroke, he told me, "I'm not scared of swimming anymore! I had fun!" It made me so happy.Thats why I wanted to show even more kids just how fun it is to swim! I want to join the teaching side of the swim world, and to learn how to do that,I'm going to college in Tokyo. That's the dream I've found for myself"
