Entrepreneurs 鈥� Doing Business after the Olympics
dd
Debbie Meyer
By age 16, Meyer had nabbed three gold medals for women's swimming in the 200-meter, 400-meter and 800-meter freestyle events at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Today she makes entrepreneurial waves with two swim-training centers near Sacramento, Calif. She's planning on opening another in Sacramento and one in the Tahoe area within the next year. Since 1993, Meyer and her swim instructors have taught mainly younger swimmers, and none have made it big. To nab Olympic coaching, parents pay $240 for eight sets of private 15-minute lessons.
