About the Author
Lunn Lestina is a former world and nationally ranked competitive swimmer. He attended Stanford University on a swimming scholarship, where he and his teammates won the NCAA division I championships for three years in a row, and the PAC 10 championships four times. Before picking Stanford, he had been aggressively recruited by other universities with top-tier swimming programs, including University of Texas, University of Florida, and UCLA. He specialized in distance freestyle swimming, but participated in and set records in a full range of swimming events as he came up through the ranks of local and club swim meets to reach the NCAA levels. He set multiple local and national records, and is still on the USA Swimming's top 100 list of the all time fastest swimmers.
