She said, “I know how important is to have clean water to keep open water swimming alive. That’s why the swimming community should join with the WORLD CLEAN UP DAY that takes place on September 21st. I believe every single club, coach, swimming parent, athlete, organization, sponsor and business that is involved with our sport can and should give an extra hand on the World Clean Up Day.
