Swimmer to Swimmer (FS Athlete Newsletter)

April 24, 2008

Hey Florida swimmers! It's been about a month since I last wrote so I thought it was time to put in a new entry! I hope all the athletes swam well at the recent Championship meets!  I know we had some great swims for Florida to brag about! Well, my new Jr. Rep, Matt Kaminske, and I are getting really excited about a new contest coming up for a Florida swimming slogan contest! We will come out with the definite details soon, but make sure to get those creative juices flowing! Let's show the rest of the world how great swimming can be! Also, let me throw out that our own super star Ryan Lochte just recently broke his 3rd world record at the Short Course World Swimming Championships! Congratulations Ryan! Everyone remember to keep training hard and stay focused!
