Original Toronto Star caption: If you're swimming around the bottom of the Etobicoke Olympium pool one day and see these two ride by, don't be alarmed. It's just Todd Shannon, owner of Mississauga Diving Services, and his brother Rob, practicing their underwater cycling skills for an upcoming episode of Live It Up. Todd bikes to explore shipwrecks.
