I have been totally remiss in offering congratulations to all of the fantastic athletes racing these past few weeks. First, some great performances at the Check for Change Triathlon in late August. Congratulations to Kevin Mepham, 9th male finisher overall and 2nd in the Men’s 50-54 age group, and Lisa Chase, 2nd in the Women’s … Continue reading
I saw this New York Times story today and was completely inspired. It speaks so much to the feelings so many of my adult learners have as they are conquering their fears and learning to relax in the water and ultimately, learning to swim. Congratulations to Attis Clopton for bravely taking this step and changing … Continue reading
Have I mentioned lately how much I like my little local newspaper? Thanks to the Daily Hampshire Gazette for the great article!
One morning in Switzerland, I woke up early and decided to go for a little dip. Ha. The big day had come, and after almost a year, I was ready to swim in Switzerland. The Lake Zurich Marathon Schwimmen had arrived. The swim start was a short walk from our hotel and after trying to … Continue reading
We are home! After two incredible weeks in Europe, I am back at my computer and ready to put into words some of my thoughts about the Lake Zurich Marathon Swim. Or, as we now call it in our house “The Schwimmen.” As cliche as this is to say, it’s hard to believe that it’s … Continue reading

Tomorrow morning, we … Continue reading

So much quality swimming these past two weeks. Open water training, blowing bubble learning, triathlon prepping, friend hanging, Grandma time fun having, and a whole lot more. It’s been a good one. Hope you are having some great water time too!
At his second lesson, a previously fearful 11-year-old (as in the day before kind of fearful)did this. And it was awesome. And I can’t wait to see what he does next.
In all honesty, it’s the last few weeks at Swimcrest. Good things are happening. Some learned to be buoyant and let go of their fears about the water. An 8-year-old swam across the 25-yard pool for the very first time. So did this incredible 47-year-old. This swimmer took 8 strokes off of her 25-yard freestyle. … Continue reading
