What's so SPECIAL about Orange County

Here is further proof of Orange County’s awesomeness: 47 of the 596 athletes on the US Olympic team are from Orange County. Mission Viejo in particular (the greatest city in the greatest county ever) has a proud history of producing some of the greatest swimmers and divers through the Mission Viejo Nadadores, one of the country’s largest swimming and diving clubs. Some notable Nadador olympians include diver Greg Louganis, Larsen Jensen, and Dara Torres.

Honoring Orange County’s Olympic connection is this video of the 2008 Mission Viejo Invitational at the Nadadores aquatic center. There aren’t any olympians in this video, but you get to see the inside of the place where gold medalists are made.
