Swim Clinic in Southern California Empowers Youth With Disabilities | CBS 8 San Diego

Seven year old Hiro Sakamoto has been swimming in a pool of challenges his whole life but has never been one to let his disability slow him down.

Hiro’s mom Kalyn Sakamoto said he was diagnosed in utero, but the full picture was unclear at the time.

“We knew that he was going to have some limb differences,” she said. “Obviously you can’t see very clearly what they would be. We decided to just let things go and we would see what happens at birth.”

Hiro and his mom Kalyn visited Oceanside from Pasadena for the adaptive swim clinic, an event put together by the Ironman Foundation and the Challenged Athletes Foundation for young athletes with special needs.
