A talk with an Olympic swimming legend - Jane’s guest today is Rowdy Gaines, the renowned, three-time Olympic gold medalist and International Swimming Hall of Fame member, once known as the world’s fastest human being.

Yet with all his accolades and accomplishments, this greatest American sprint freestyler of his time, also faced a serious setback. Indeed, for the past twenty years he has been dealing with hearing loss. On today’s segment, Rowdy discusses how the discreet, barely visible devices made by Eargo, the leader in hearing aid technology, have make him victorious over his auditory  issues.  And you will hear Rowdy talk about how the Olympic athletes of today enhance their speed, power and stamina through the latest nutrition and training regimens.
