Interpretation of USA Swimming Rules Article 101.2.3 (Breaststroke)
Swimmer, Charley Oda. During the late summer of 1944, at the height of WWII, the Tri-Theatre Allied Games were held in Rome, Italy.  The games were organized for Allied athletes from the European & Mediterranean Armies in an athletic competition that included Track & Field, Swimming & Diving, and Team Sports.  At those games, Pfc. Charles Oda (Charlie)  participated in the Swimming & Diving competition for the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations (MTO) team. 
 
To all the Men and Women that served! A salute, in appreciation of your service!

Duty, Honor, Country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn. General MacArthur.

First year coaches , are reminded that they have to take the test this year to renew their registration. It is available at www.swimmingcoach.org.
 
The test can be taken online and you can get the results online.
This is a great article about swimming in the Adver tiser. Skippa Diaz. "It's a lifelong activity, and it relaxes the body and mind," Diaz said. Diaz also said the training and values he learned as a youth swimmer helped him greatly in football. "It gives you big-time strength," Diaz said. "It's very demanding, with practices in the morning and afternoon - a double-whammy. But it gave me that work ethic, the belief that if you want to be good in anything, you gotta put in the time."
 The Story of the butterfly
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.....

 The blue ribbon campaign, to remind us to prevent child abuse
