Growing Bolder Community

Today's birthdays include Cindy Williams. The Laverne and Shirley star is 61 today. Don't miss our picture of the day. It's a very young Michael Phelps in his first race.

The entire world now knows Michael Phelps but this short clip was recorded at the Olympic Trials in 2000 just a few minutes after an unknown 15-year-old qualified for his first Olympic team by taking second in the 200 meter butterfly.

After witnessing the greatest week in swimming history at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, 3-time Olympic gold medalist and NBC analyst Rowdy Gaines dishes all the behind-the-scenes dirt to Growing Bolder.

Want to know what the Growing Bolder spirit is all about? Meet a swimming icon who is still living boldly at the age of 90.

It's only a matter of time till we see Michael Phelps and Dara Torres in TV commercials. Olympic stars have been cashing in since Bob Richards became the first athlete ever on the front of a box of Wheaties. Watch this spot from the '60s.

She's the fastest distance swimmer in United States history (wait for it!) over the age of 90!

Dara Torres is one of the most talked about Olympians these days. Mostly because she's over 40 and still rockin' it. But also because of this one, big secret.
