Brooke Bennett feels at home in the water. The three-time Olympic gold medalist knows what it’s like to compete at the highest level.

She also knows what it’s like to swim for noble cause.

“We want to keep spreading the word,” she said with a smile.

Bennett spent her Saturday morning teaching kids from local TBAY swim teams tips and techniques they’ll need next month out on the open waters of Clearwater Beach. Bennett will join the non-profit Swim Across America to put on a race designed to raise money to fight cancer.
