Brief Description
Diagnosed with cancer just weeks before the 2008 Olympic Trials, Eric Shanteau decided to postpone treatment and go for his dream. After successfully qualifying for the 2008 Olympics, Eric was off to Beijing to compete on the world's greatest stage. When he returned home, Eric found enormous support in the LiveSTRONG Foundation and is now living and training cancer free. Eric designed "Swim For Your Life" to combine his passions of swimming and cancer awareness.
