The three Athens medal-winners will participate in a 10:00am first-ever “swim meet” on Disneyland 's Main Street, USA in a specially constructed Olympic-length pool (50-meters long). The pool, measuring 21 ft. wide, 4 ft. deep and featuring three swimming lanes, will span almost the entire length of Main Street. Local young swim champions will welcome and meet the three famed swimmers as well as participate in a relay and match race with the three athletes. The visit to the Disneyland Resort culminates the swimmers' cross-country “Disney's Swim with the Stars” tour. Arriving in the United States directly from Greece, Phelps, Crocker and Krayzelburg participated in a series of personal appearances at local schools, meeting and greeting hundreds of children, and starring in a two-hour swimming celebration show in each city. The tour is set to finish at Disneyland as it prepares to celebrate its golden anniversary in 2005. “Winning the gold in Greece was a dream come true but going on this tour with Ian and Lenny and meeting the young swimming stars of tomorrow has been simply incredible,” said Phelps. “It seems only fitting that we end our tour and Olympic journey at ‘The Happiest Place on Earth.” Source: Disneyland Return to Disney News. |
