Having spent nearly 200 days of my life at the KING Aquatic Center attending many aquatic events throughout\u00a0the years since my first visits prior to the 1990 Goodwill Games, I had a blast spending Saturday<\/span><\/span> with the Greater USA Swimming Family! Thank you swimmers, coaches, administrators, officials, volunteers, other press including NBC Sports television and fans for making this a terrific meet as we head towards Omaha and Rio beyond!<\/p>\n

Second time here…first was just prior to his making the Olympic Team at the Trials in 2000…great successes in this pool (200 IM, 100 & 200 Fly wins at this meet!)..good memories from 15+ years previous…eating at Mitzel’s restaurant (meatloaf & clam chowder)… good number of people in the stands!<\/p>\n

Great mix of memories…from a 7 year old kid swimming here who had not really bought into the idea of ‘swimming’ at all…to being a 12-13 year old that was a lot for his coaches to handle, through his high school and college career to now…training for his hopefully 3rd Olympic Team!
