Update on Coach Chris                               :
                           ,
As many of you know Coach Chris Swensen underwent back surgery today                                    .   On the

                       ,
way to the hospital he was in good spirits as always                      .   He sent me a pic of him about

                   ,                          '
to go into surgery but he wouldn t let me publish it although he looked fab If you                  .
                           ,

celebrated 14 years with NAAC yesterday! Fun fact: his surgeon swam for Penn
State and had a respectable 200 free time of 1:42.78 in college. It's a small world out

there.

Update on pool set up and temp                                   :
POOL CONFIGURATION                       :
Next week you will notice the pool will be set up Short Course Meters

some days and Long Course Meters some days By Oct    .         15th the pool
should be set to Short Course which will give us 23 lanes of pure luxurious

space. Hallelujah! We will still need to use the diving well a bit until we see

how all the groups fit in each night.

POOL TEMP      :
Note from Academy              :   Heat was turned back on to the dive well

yesterday afternoon        .
Pipe repairs for the lap pool are underway and should complete today or

           .
tomorrow At that point water will circulate through the heating system

allowing the techs to diagnose the lack of heat in the lap pool                         .
