Even if you've never watched CBS's Survivor, you'll be motivated and inspired by this interview with (in our opinion) the second-best swimmer ever to appear on Survivor, besides Elizabeth Beisel. At 59 years old, Janet is doing ocean swims four days a week and is breaking gender barriers in the field of lifeguard supervising. Janet is a former Division I swimmer and last season she went stroke for stroke with Beisel in a Survivor swim challenge. You'll hear how Janet used swimming to get to the final 6 of Survivor and how "proving oneself" is the key to success.
