Ito Smith is 25 years old, a professional football player, and learning how to swim for the first time with kids aged from 7 to 12 years old.
Watch Ito get in the pool wearing floaties, goggles, and a big smile in the player above.
The former Atlanta Falcons running back checked his pride at the door and was honest about his swimming skills.
Children’s Hospital of Atlanta held a swimming clinic with Ito and kids from the community at the metro Atlanta YMCA.
Ito says he promised his grandmother years ago that if she quit smoking, he would learn how to swim.
She made good on that promise, now it’s his turn.
