Former Olympic Star Moving to Buckeye

By
In a surprise move, a former Olympic star is coming out of retirement (again) and moving to Buckeye Swim Club.  In making this decision, the star feels that he left competition too soon and has more to offer the sport.  When asked why Columbus, he stated that he is tired of the consistently beautiful days in Arizona and is looking forward to the unpredictable mess of Ohio weather.  Furthermore, he believes he has gone as far as he can with his life long coach and is looking forward to training under the sharp wit and creative style that Coach Lew offers.

When asked whether his family had a part in the decision, he declared ‘absolutely!’  We have been very disappointed that our son learned to walk before the butterfly.  We are looking forward to placing him with Coach Karr.  It is our hope that her expert coaching will get him to the Olympics while I am still able to compete.  We dream of the day that father and son can swim in the same Olympics.  My wife is really looking forward to working in Columbus, which is a fashion mecca.

The star has asked to remain anonymous until he is able to speak with his former coach.

A donation to the booster club for your shirt is optional. The kids are now receiving their team t-shirts that were made exclusively for kids and coaches.

Coach of the Year

By
Dear Coach, Hope this email finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are writing today on behalf of the upcoming feature film COACH OF THE YEAR: an independent, kid-friendly sports comedy feature film based on the inspiring true story of a rag tag swim team that tries to win a state championship…without a pool to practice in. Director Dave Stott, who has coached swimming for twenty years, hopes that with this film, we will entertain and inspire kids all over the country to learn to swim. Another goal of this film is to raise awareness about drowning as the leading cause of accidental deaths and to help kids all over the country learn to swim safely. The underdog story has been told before, but not for our sport. This is a movie for swimmers (and would-be swimmers), made by people who know the sport intimately and love it passionately, and we’d love for you to be involved. We wanted to ask you and your team to help spread the word about COACH OF THE YEAR, and get you & you...
