Lindsay Nixon is Conference Woman of the Year Nominee for NCAA

Two months ago, Lindsay bid adieu to her undergraduate years at L&C and yet she is still making waves in collegiate athletics. You can read about this great honor in the article at this link: http://www.lcpioneers.com/sports/swimdive/2008-09/news/LindsayWOTY

We at the pool salute her and applaud her. Congrats Lindsay!

Drop-ins welcome!

On this last full day of our first week of swim camp, two of our newly minted Pioneer Swimming graduates made appearances separately. Sarit Gluz, ’09, came by to visit on her way to work. She checked in with coaches, counselors and swimmers at the camp where she served as a counselor extraordinaire just last summer.

Less than an hour later, Anne Scheiman, ’09, visited after class. Anne just started the Masters in Teaching program in the School of Education this week and she LOVES her classes. Nothing could be better and I’m so proud of her. I know the year will pass in a flash and she’ll find her new career in elementary education.

Swim Camp ! !

Summer is here and with it comes Swim Camp! Late June and early July on the Lewis & Clark campus see more than one hundred young swimmers here for fun, new techniques, excitement, and new friendships. Today is day two, the weather will be in the 70s, and campus is alive with the future of our sport.

Our college athletes give camp their all in serving as counselors and mentors to our campers. Last night after dinner they facilitated a campus tour, kickball, board games, movie time, and ping pong. With days like these, we all sleep well!
