THE FOREVER SWIM
The Forever Swim delves into the inner thoughts, vision, loves, worries, and challenges of Antonio Argüelles.
He describes his colorful, goal-setting life within the dramatic backdrop of becoming the oldest person in history to achieve the Oceans Seven. Viewed ignorantly from an outside perspective, Antonio’s accomplishments are so numerous and his successes so constant throughout his life that it is hard to fathom the numerable obstacles he actually had to overcome. While Antonio is globally respected and admired for his triumphs both on dryland and in the water, The Forever Swim provides an unknown, inside view of a remarkable person.
The Forever Swim will result in readers respecting this personable icon even more. Steven Munatones

Brazada Abrazada Foundation
Brazada Abrazada is a nonprofit project that provides children with a comprehensive education through swimming lessons and other aquatic activities. The program therefore focuses on the overall development of the child and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
The idea arose from a visit Antonio made to the Coronel J. Cruz Gálvez boarding school to tell the kids about his Oceans Seven adventures. After interacting with and listening to them, he set himself a new challenge: to give these children the experience of learning how to swim and, moreover, helping them grow into persons with a strong attachment to their community.
Thanks to the support of friends and family, the Secretary of Public Education of the state of Sonora, the Union of Physical Education Teachers, and the boarding school's management and staff, the project became a reality.
Swimming lessons take place at the CUM Olympic pool in Hermosillo, Sonora. One of the main achievements has been, of course, teaching the children to swim. However, participating in aquatic activities in an educational context has also enabled the kids to acquire knowledge through movement, establish social relationships, and develop cognitive and emotional skills.
During the 2019-2020 academic year, more schools were added to the program and, currently, more than 1,000 children participate in it. Year after year we expect this number to grow. The goal for 2025 is to contribute to the comprehensive education of more than 10,000 children in schools across the country.
