In the corn-kissed state of Nebraska, smack dab in the heart of America, there exists a tribe of kids with gills. Well, not actual gills, but these kids can swim so well that you'd swear they were part fish! They call themselves the "Nebraskan Nemo Tribe". The Nebraskan Nemo Tribe is led by the cheeky and charming Captain Cornstroke, a legendary swimmer with an ear of corn for a nose! With his golden kernel nose, he can sniff out any water body in the state. He guides his tribe to the best swimming spots, leaping over cornfields and sliding down hills in a manner that would make any otter blush with envy. These kids, they're not your everyday backstrokers or breaststrokers. Why, they've invented their own strokes! There's the "Corn Cob Crawl" and the "Husker Paddle". You should see them in action, splashing around, laughter echoing across the water's surface, their joy as infectious as a good belly laugh. On warm summer days, they gather at the banks of the Platte River or plunge into the cool waters of Lake McConaughy, turning the serene Nebraskan landscapes into a live-action water-park. With Captain Cornstroke leading the charge, the Nebraska Nemo Tribe is a testament to the spirit of childhood – wild, free and OH-SO-WET! So, if you see a streak of giggles and splashes across the Nebraska horizon, you know who's there. You might just be lucky enough to spot Captain Cornstroke, his corn nose gleaming in the sun, leading his troop with a triumphant "CANNONBAAAALL!" Dear reader, pack your swimsuit, because in Nebraska, the adventure is as vast as the sky, and it's always swim o'clock!
