Swim Camp

We just finished swim camp today, phew! What a

great opportunity for our little team. Koach Ray set

up for husband/wife team, Katrina and Ross Gerry from

Minnesota, to come down and put on a 4 day camp. Katrina (Radke)

is a former US Olympian, swimming in the 1988 Olympics in

Seoul, Korea. Ross Gerry swam college for Boston U and

has been a coach on the International level. He was on the

coaching staff for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

below Katrina.





Koach Ray and Zach boiling crawfish, in the rain.


Oh yeah, I'm gonna eat ya!

We had to treat our northern guests to some crawfish.

After camp on Wed. we boiled at the pool. They were

hesitant, but being good sports, they ate the tasty little guys.

I guess they thought it was too much work for one little bite, so

they headed for the hamburgers.

The girls with Katrina and Ross

Thanks to all our family and friends who supported the girls

during their "scavenger hunt" fund raiser to help with

the cost of the camp. It was well worth it, they learned so much.

They taught them some great strength training, new drills and

gave tips on improving their strokes. They also shared some

great Olympic stories that were very motivational.
