Why the name “Lane 8�
Historically, the swimmer in lane 8 is the underdog of the race. This swimmer either had the slowest seed time or the slowest prelim time in a meet, thus giving them the worst odds of winning the race. Much like the guy or gal in lane 8, the kids our organization sponsors are seen as underdogs by lacking the simple essentials for prototypical success in life.
While the odds aren’t in their favor, the swimmer in lane 8, does not have the excuse to give up. They have a lane that is the same length and width as every other lane. Our biggest goal as a nonprofit is to apply this as a metaphor to life. While the road to success for a Lane 8 swimmer is paved with many more potholes, hills and detours than other kids, they still have a life. They still have an opportunity. Our Lane 8 swimmers do not pity themselves. Instead, they adapt.
