The past two weeks I have been visiting East Coast swimmers. Some famous east coast Olympians are, Katie Hoff, Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelphs, and Erik Vendt .

On October 5, I hosted a clinic with Olympians Christine Magnuson, Kaitlin Sandeno and Peter Vanderkaay in Pittsburgh, PA for the Allegheny Moutain LSC. There were over 150 swimmers in attendance at the University of Pittsburgh! They have a beautiful pool and great people! The kids loved seeing Christine and Peter’s Beijing medals. If you recall Christine received a silver medal, and Peter received a gold medal for his outstanding record swim in the 800 free relay.

The next day, Christine and I traveled to Baltimore, MD for a clinic with the Columbia Clippers swim team. This was their 5th clinic with us! The coach Jody Frey is a professional at hosting clinics.

This past Saturday, October 11, Rachel Komisarz and I teamed up again to host a clinic in Stroudsburgh, PA for the Pocono Piranhas swim team at the Pocono Family YMCA. I enjoyed hanging out with the swimmers and coaches! Here is a local news story on the clinic,

The next day, I met up with Peter Vanderkaay again to do a clinic in Whitewater, WI for the J-Hawks Aquatics swim team at the University of Wisconsin. Another great group and great pool. Check out some pics from the clinic below.

September went by so fast; I didn’t have a chance to blog! Let me catch you up…..I went to the ASCA convention, and had the wonderful opportunity to meet over 1200 coaches! Right after that, I met up with Rachel Komisarz in Reno, NV for a clinic with the Reno Aquatic Club. They were great hosts! Thanks Deb! The next day, I flew out to Salt Lake City, and met up with Kim Vandenberg. We hosted a clinic together for the Eagle Aquatic Team. I also, had the opportunity to speak to one of the local schools. Just the month before, Kim swam in the Beijing Olympics and won a Bronze medal in the 800m free relay. WAY TO GO, KIM! See pictures from their clinic below. Thanks guys!

Being on the road for five days straight, I was ready to get home and rest. The following weekend, Gil Stoval and I hosted a clinic, in his hometown of Germantown, TN for Germantown Swim Team. Everyone had a blast and was so excited to see him. The next day, Kim Vandenberg and I hosted another clinic together in Norton, MA at the Wheaton College for the Magnus Aquatic Group. We had over 100 swimmers! Check out their picture below.

The same day, Randall Bal & Ed Moses hosted a clinic together in San Ramon, CA. Great job guys!

Two weeks ago, I visited my good friends in Shreveport, LA, the Shreveport Swim Team. There were over 200 swimmers! WOW! It was super! While I was in the area, I spent some very much needed time with my folks. That weekend, Brendan Hansen and I, hosted a clinic for the Monroe-Woodbury Marlins, in Central Valley, NY. This was their third time hosting a clinic, thanks for the support Denise!

Last week, I hosted a clinic in San Marcos, TX, just outside my hometown of San Antonio, for a non-profit group Swimberley. I loved the small intimate group; we all became friends for life. Last Saturday, Kaitlin Sandeno and I, hosted a clinic for the Mason Manta Rays in Mason, OH. The clinic and people were awesome! What a beautiful town! Then to finish off my busy month, I met up with Davis Tarwater for a clinic in Paris, KY with the Paris Bourbon County YMCA swim team. Davis and I had fun! Thanks Jenny for being a great host!

WOW! I met over 300 swimmers! Next month, I am scheduled to meet about 1,000 swimmers! INCREDIBLE! I want to say Thank You to all the clubs that have booked a BREAKout! Swim clinic. All of you are a huge blessing to me!
