Olympic Gold Medalist Mark Gangloff and I had a blast at our BREAKout! clinic in Holtsville, NY on Sept. 9. About 70 amazing kids came out to the beautiful pool there at Sachem High School. And, as usual, our host families that weekend were awesome! Thank you!

Congratulations to Taylor and Brian for winning the “Best Streamline” awards.

Joshua and Matt won the “Spirit Award” for being such great listeners, for trying hard, and racing with a great attitude.

Of course, the highlight of every clinic for me is racing! Whether it’s racing the swimmers or fellow Olympians, I just love to see the fun spirit of competition in other swimmers. Well, the kids cheered us on as I challenged Mark to a winner takes all, no holds barred showdown in the 25 breaststroke. Mind you, Mark’s specialty is the breaststroke (unlike mine!), so I wasn’t surprised when he beat me…but it wasn’t by much!

Thanks again to all my amigos at the Sachem Swim Club for a great clinic!
