Welcome back to Craning Company, I'm David Cone, got Blaine Crane here with me.

Our boy, Jake, is, he's probably in Paris right now, I think, right?

What's he up to, you think?

You know, probably young, that people, you know, that little beret.

He's probably in an argument about World War II, asking us 100%.

But we are very honored to be joined by a special guest today, and that is former Division

One athlete and you, Penn Swimmer, Miss Paula Scanlon.

How are you, Paula?

I'm great.

Thanks for having me today, guys.

Thank you for joining us.

Now, like I said, you swam for the University of Pennsylvania.

I was hoping you could just sort of tell us about your life and how you came to be a Division

One athlete.

Yeah, so growing up, I struggled a lot in school, I'm dyslexic, and my parents thought

a good outlet for me was to find a sport, and coincidentally, our town right around

the time my dad was telling me I needed to do this.

Our town had just finished building an Olympic-sized pool at our YMCA.

So obviously, it made sense to just do swimming.

I had done swimming lessons when I was younger, and I just did it for a few years, but it

was really when my brother went to college, and he was out of the house, and I really felt

like I had to make my own that I started taking swimming really seriously.
