U.S. swim star Van Dyken back in pool to battle paralysis

Olympic swimming champion Amy Van Dyken said she finally felt "normal" when she took to the pool recently as part of her rehabilitation program following an all-terrain vehicle accident that left her partially paralyzed. It was awesome." Speaking from the Englewood, Colorado hospital where she has been undergoing intense physical therapy since she severed her spine in the accident earlier this month, Van Dyken, 41, said everything about her new regimen was difficult. "My ultimate goal is in August to walk out of here," van Dyken said, sitting alongside her husband, former Denver Broncos punter Tom Rouen, for the interview.
