Spring Cleaning

 

Look who started their spring break by getting the pool ready for our ShAC and Aquacat summer training groups.

When friends and family ask me "Why?"...THIS  is why...

Nort Thornton & Jon Urbanchek

Hall of Fame coach Nort Thornton is hospitalized with a heart issue.  Thornton coached the powerhouse California Golden Bears and numerous Olympic medalists came through his club and college programs in 70's, 80's, 90's, & 00's.

When we do a head-up, high-tempo breaststroke set, it likely had its origins out west in Coach Thornton's program!

Retired Michigan coach Jon Urbanchek - another Hall of Famer with a similar resume - tweeted out his support:

Nort!
We are PULLING for you!
8 x 50 :45 breast  fins &pads chin up. Move it ! Jon

Much of the heart rate work done in our program - and around the world - is based on Coach Urbanchek's "color charts" that simplify things for us less gifted coaches...

Denny Pursley

We got called for a false start on the Denny Pursley Podcast Episode.  Since we're old-school guys, we went with the old rule book and got back up on the blocks for another shot at this.  If you prefer platforms other than YouTube, visit us at Anchor.

 

We got to talk to one of our sport's all-time great coaches, Dennis Pursley!

Check out his Career at a Glance. from the 2018 'Bama Swimming Media Guide:

Pretty danged impressive, right?!?!

Pay close attention starting around 24:30, as I'd been sharing how proud I was of our 2021 group with Denny, and the way we came through this season of uncertainty and ups & downs.
