Brett Hawke speaks with his longtime friend Lionel Moreau. They discuss their connection as "brothers from another mother" and their journey as swimmers who moved to the United States in search of the American dream. Lionel and Roman Barnier didn’t make the 1996 Olympic team, but they decided to stay in the US and attend college for swimming.
They reminisce about their beginnings at Auburn University, where they formed the "foreign connection" - a team consisting of Lionel, Roman, and Brett. Their experience at Auburn began with some financial sacrifices, supported by their parents back home. They took pride in being part of the foreign connection and embraced the American culture, proving themselves through hard work and dedication.
