That's kewl, I always envy the juniors of the local swim club where we currently have our tri club practice.
Their coach is tough. He's from former eastern Germany ;-)
and while our coach was finally able to show us how to turn, contrary to the teacher where I took a longish freestyle course, I don't have enough air because basically, you need air for the time equivalent of about 6-7 strokes to do a good turn.

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Great to watch -- she won by a BUNCH! They all look so smooth and easy gliding. Not like me!

WOW - the video was very, very cool!
I love that the coach is a teacher. I'm a teacher too.

Well they are back and still riding on a cloud!
"Our" Whoo hoo
coach was there and we swam this morning. I have taught w/ her for 16 years and am as excited for her as for Dagny.
Of course after Dagny swam those times all sorts of offers are rolling in. One is an offer for them to go when it is convenient for them to the high altitude training center at Colorado springs.
Pinch me - I can't believe I am lucky enough to catch the fallout of all this.
(although it is starting to feel a little embarassing to be swimming in the same water as her - but I'll get over it
What makes this even more exciting is we are just a small city (pop about 36,000. in a state of less than 650,000 people) - we don't have a derth of famous people or exceptional athletes
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
