We've had a bit to do with Sam, a talented swimmer from Otaua who has autism, and we reckon he's pretty awesome.
His athletic achievements in the pool are so impressive - but it's his cool personality that has endeared him to us.
"He's just so so humble, " our reporters say - and a pleasure to deal with it.
It's people like Sam that make our jobs so rewarding.
What a privilege it is - to be able to report on people in our community punching above their weight - to share their stories with our audience and acknowledge publicly that what they are doing is pretty neat.
Good luck Sam, with your Cook Strait swim early next year.
The crew at Franklin County News are sure you'll nail it.
