Fran Crippen To Be Remembered
Fran Crippen will be the focus and on the cover of the next (December) issue of the FINA Aquatics World Magazine.The FINA Aquatics World Magazine was introduced at the 2010 FINA Bureau Meeting in Bangkok and covers the five aquatic disciplines and the very best of open water swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and pool swimming.
But the thousands of memories and stories that were shared collectively by the swimming community during the past weekend in the global tribute to Fran Crippen was an incredible and richly deserved outpouring of love and respect to an athlete who will always be remembered for his warm heart, personality, charisma and track record of success in the pool, open water and in life.
