Olympian Michael Phelps and teammates promote youth swimming

The San Luis Obispo Tribune

ANAHEIM, Calif. - A young swimmer got an Olympic-size helping hand from three of the country's most celebrated swimmers at Disneyland on Tuesday.

Paul Lovely, 5, of Lake Forest was the youngest member of a team racing in Disney's Swim with the Stars tour, which featured Michael Phelps, who won six gold and two bronze medals at the Athens Games, and teammates Ian Crocker and Lenny Krayzelburg

The five-week tour across the country culminated at Disneyland, where a three-lane pool was built on Main Street.

Lovely, who swam the first leg of a relay, was struggling to complete the swim when the three Olympians jumped in to help, piggybacking the youngster to the end of the pool.

"It was cold," Paul said. "I could go all the way through sometime."
