I, Cameron,
had the honor of meeting and being coached by Gold and Silver medalist
Jeremy Linn and Olympian Molly Hannis this past Saturday, Sept 17. Not
only did I get to wear their medals and get a picture with them, but I
also received over 2 hours of coaching to improve my approaches and
turns in breaststroke. I was able to ask questions about their lives and
routines. I, along with about 20 other swimmers were there. Each
swimmer had the pleasure of racing one of the Olympians. I raced
against Jeremy in the breaststroke and he won after waiting to dive in
after everyone else was in the water.
The
Olympians were very kind and helpful. This happened with the Fitter
and Faster Swim Tour in Northampton PA. I am excited for the next
clinic on Sept 25th with two more Olympians. They were very
inspirational and they challenged us as they were in the water with us
and showed us exactly what they wanted us to do. They were all super
nice!
It was a great time!
