Скачать или смотреть A conversation with Olympic swimmer Elizabeth Beisel

Three-time Olympian, silver medalist, and 2016 Team USA Captain, Elizabeth Beisel is poised to make history on Wednesday, September 22, when she swims from mainland Rhode Island to Block Island in her BLOCK CANCER SWIM.

Elizabeth, a Rhode Island native, announced in January of 2021 the Block Cancer charity swim to encourage her father Ted Beisel, who was battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Sadly, Ted passed away on July 1, 2021. One of Ted’s last wishes was that Elizabeth complete the Block Cancer charity swim. All proceeds are benefitting the nonprofit Swim Across America whose mission is to fund cancer research.

Beisel will join What's Up Newp ahead of her historic swim for a live virtual video conversation.
