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.

Winter Break Schedule

By -

The best part of school breaks is the opportunity to swim a little more and get a little faster! Swim teams everywhere look forward to school breaks.  Please work with your teammates to help get to as many practices as possible.  This is also an opportunity for you to drop off your swimmer and run errands child free! :)

The final schedule is below.  The only tentative practice is tomorrow morning (it is dependent on the morning lifeguard getting to the pool/home in time from college). We will text and Facebook this practice status later today.  Please do not come to practice if you are in school (we have had some questions about scheduling practice during school).  The only way we are able to fit all groups in at once is because over  half of our swimmers will still be in school.
