Janet Evans

Olympic Swimming Legend, “Miracle In The Water” and nicknamed Miss Perpetual Motion

In 1987, she broke the world records in the 400, 800, and 1500 meter freestyle events. At the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, she won three gold medals and earned the nickname "Miss Perpetual Motion." In those games, she set a new world record in the 400 meter freestyle event — a record that would stand for 18 years. Evans held the 1500 meter freestyle record (set in March 1988) until June 2007. Her world record time of 8:16.22 in the 800 meter freestyle, set in August 1989, lasted nearly 20 years. The 800 meter freestyle record was one of the longest standing ever in the sport of swimming, lasting through four Olympic games.

About John Strand:

"John Strand is my dear friend and the only photographer I would like to work with. John has shot dozens of photo shoots with me and my Family. He has directed commercials for me He has traveled the world with me. He shot all my pictures in my book, Total Swimming. If I need him to help me he is there. I was on a cruise ship and needed something put together in a couple hours for a speech and he got it to me in time via satellite connection. I was in China and he did the same thing. He has always come through for me. I have to say… You are the man, MAN!"
