One guest explained the day, \u201cIt was an amazing life experience for so many of us. The sum total of the love and joy experienced is beyond mere mortals&#8217; capacity to fathom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the star products of Shoulberg\u2019s coaching at this event weren\u2019t just LaBerge, Prior, Olympian <strong>Brenda Borg<\/strong> or former world record holder <strong>Dave Wharton<\/strong>. They were the Shoulberg swimmers you never heard of whose character was softened by the fatigue of swim training and hardened like steel from a seldom-yielding coach with great expectations for them as an athlete, a student and a citizen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Deb Weiler<\/strong> recalled how she trembled some 40 years ago when the booming voice of her coach thrust her forward as an athlete, but also reminded her to excel in school. She credits her \u201cFASTLANE\u201d practice in psychology to the inspiration of her coach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheri Morrison<\/strong> who at four years old first met the coach at Mermaid Lake instigated one of the great encyclopedias of any coach\u2019s human touch. Although Morrison (GA Class of \u201978) turned into a diver by 11th\u00a0grade at Germantown, last fall she took the time to provide a forum for past swimmers and friends to support Shoulberg in extending his stay at GA. More than\u00a01600 folks responded with their testimony that is a remarkable read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/germantown-academy-reinstate-dick-shoulberg\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/germantown-academy-reinstate-dick-shoulberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The magical opportunity of any coach, including Dick Shoulberg, is swept forward by the wand of Americana that is waved by teenage coaches at summer pools that are opening all over the USA this time of year. While Australia bears swimmers out of the oceans and her Gold Coast, America\u2019s champions tend to be born out of the summer pools like this one. The arm that eventually encircles the Olympic medal winner starts with the appropriately delivered challenge to kids from Wharton to Weiler. Some change our Olympic teams, some change their profession and others change the world. But a massive number ripen through their experience in the sport of swimming\u2014and thousands of those adults have been bequeathed success by the wonderful life\u2019s work of Richard Shoulberg.<\/p>\n<p>After circling the globe coaching USA National Teams, conducting clinics and inspiring his charges, Dick Shoulberg is home again. Since his recent departure from Germantown, he is coaching his own new team back where he started at the Mermaid Lake Swim Club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m 25 years old,\u201d Shoulberg revealed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/?attachment_id=135200\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-135200\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"135200\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/coach-richard-shoulberg-returns-to-where-it-all-started\/mermaid-lake-swim-club-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mermaid-lake-swim-club-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2592,1936\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1432995281&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0005998800239952&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"mermaid-lake-swim-club (2)\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;mermaid-lake-swim-club (2)&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mermaid-lake-swim-club-2-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mermaid-lake-swim-club-2-1024x765.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-135200\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mermaid-lake-swim-club-2-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"mermaid-lake-swim-club (2)\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s celebration culminated by cutting three cakes prepared by the culinary genius Ms. Morrison, who generated images of Shoulberg\u2019s teams on the icing.
