Nyeholt’s swim event benefits challenged athletes - Honolulu Star-Bulletin
..."Swim For Mike" became "Swim With Mike." In its 25 years, the event has raised $5.5 million and helped 55 athletes.

Two of the current 16 scholarship awardees are in Hawaii: Tusi Mailo, a former Kahuku High football player now attending Brigham Young-Hawaii and Keith Kitamura, a former Kapaa High multi-sport athlete who is a graduate student at the University of Hawaii.

The event has its second lap in Hawaii on April 22 at UH's Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Center. The goal this year is to raise $20,000 to support at least three scholarships for physically challenged athletes in Hawaii.

Nyeholt is in Hawaii this week to promote the event...
