Not to hijack, clicked on your link below, you swam for KCB. Both of my kids have. One swims in college now, one swims for Senior group. You lived through Pete, you deserve a medal just for that. :)

Cool to watch, and a nice improvement from him. He definitely doesn't look like a fish in the water, and that start. Oh, that start. But nicely done.

2020 National Masters Champion - M50-54 - 50m Butterfly

Did your oldest swim with Pete before he retired? What a legend!

Everyone has a different opinion of the man - He was a great coach, and I pretty much credit him for making me impervious to pain and hardship. But he was TOUGH and I hated him sometimes - he made me cry when I was 17. My sisters quit swimming altogether because of him. He made us do 1500 butterflys for time and swim in 65 degree water in the summer.

One of my favorite memories (now, not then) was when we practiced outdoors in the summer. During lighting storms, he would have his stopwatch out and would be counting the seconds between the lightning and thunder (5 seconds?) to determine if the lightning was close enough to let us out of the pool. The team parents did NOT like that.

But if you got an ever-so-rare compliment from him, you really know you had a great swim!

Hope your kids are enjoying swimming!
