Nathan Adrian Acquires Swim Facility and School
Nathan, Carrie Cuneo (Ann Curtis' daughter) and Will Copeland holding Ann and Nathan's medals from their respective London Olympics.
Nathan and fellow U. C. Berkeley swimming superstar, Will Copeland, have purchased the Ann Curtis School of Swimming in San Rafael, California. A staple in Marin County now for 60 years, the facility was the vision of 1948 triple Olympic swimming medalist, Ann Curtis, who opened the facility in 1959 with her husband, Gordon. The School, which is still operated by Ann's daughter Carrie (see left), is estimated to have provided lessons to over 40,000 children in the San Francisco Bay area over the years, including several Olympians. Nathan and Will are excited to continue to build upon the strong legacy created by Ann and her Family in teaching children how to swim. You can read more about the AC Swim Club at www.acswimclub.com
A Note from Nathan
 Nathan with his Wife, Hallie.
Life, like swimming the 100 free, can come at you hard and fast as you can’t always see who, or what, may be chasing you down. Recently, I went to the doctor as something didn’t seem quite right. At the very least, I still needed to get my flu shot so it couldn’t hurt. After a few tests and visits with a specialist, I unfortunately learned that I have Testicular Cancer. On the bright side, we caught it early, I have already started treatment and the prognosis is good. I will be back in the water in a few short weeks with my sights fully set on Tokyo! Along the way, I hope to share my journey in an effort to help break the stigma of discussing men’s health issues. I’ve realized that too often we tend to avoid these important topics, ignore the potential warning signs, and put off getting the medical help that we may need. As I told my family, I’ll be putting my public health degree to work a little sooner than I planned! But in all seriousness, I am keeping a positive attitude as cases such as mine are curable. I am extremely grateful for my family and friends, especially my wife, for their love and support. I am scheduled for surgery early next week and will provide an update soon. Thanks #menshealth#testicularcancer #standuptocancer
