I've been doing Master's swimming for the past year & a half; swam in my first meet last weekend (never had done anything like this before -- I'm age 50!), Now I know who I will ask for guidance from at my next meet -- whenever that is -- a saint I can identify with!. Yes, one reason he's the patron of swimmers is because he was able to escape (from Muslim captors) by swimming away!.

I'm a casual swimmer and recently discovered St. Adjutor. It would be nice to know more. Especially, now that the children and others are preparing for summer...smile.

I had read on another site that he had blessed a fleet on their way to fight the crusades. The ship had been attacked and the sailors were not drowned. He is also the patron saint of sailors and drowning victims.

Why is this Saint, the patron saint of swimmers? The article didn't say why.
