Clarkson meet and community service

Thanks to everyone who volunteered this past sunday for either leaf raking or timing for the club meet. You all did a great job with your respective efforts and it is appreciated.
Both teams picked up victories against Clarkson this past weekend. Some solid swims all around. Congrats!! Results

Tailgate Parties, Thank You Parents!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the parents for all of their efforts and all of the great food they make for our tailgate parties after our home meets. We all appreciate it greatly and it adds that much more to the atmosphere and community we desire to have.

"Leave it in the Pool"

We just finished the 3rd annual Ted Mullin "Leave it in the Pool" Hour of Power Relay. It was a great experience for a great cause. I was very happy with how the team got into it, they put forth a great effort, great enthusiasm, and I believe everyone really enjoyed themselves. I think feeling the spirit of over 5600 other swimmers from around the country (and world) participating in the same event helped bring out the best in everyone. Cancer Sucks!!

Oswego is (still) beautiful

I know this picture has appeared on this blog before. Being able to sit down by the lake and watch the sunset is one of the more relaxing things to have the opportunity to do, and it just never gets old.

Oneonta & the Dan Clark experience

We swam at Oneonta last weekend. long trip. long meet. It went well though, the men and women both won easily and swam fairly well. Congratulations to Leah Matthews on setting a pool record in the 100 breast. The men have two tough meets coming up against Clarkson and MCC, the women should not have a tough go of it and it will give us a chance to mix up what we swim.
A few weeks ago we had the opportunity (along with the entire athletic department) to attend a motivational talk with Dan Clark. Honestly, I am often skeptical of going to these things, thinking they are going to be a little to hokey or cookie cutter type talks. From the first word I was captivated, and as I looked around the packed house, so was everyone else. He really is a pretty amazing individual and I couldn't even begin to document why. I left that night feeling great and feeling motivated. My only dissapointment was that not everyone on our team could make it. If you ever get the chance to see him speak, take it, you will not be disappointed.
