That is a Saturday from 2-4. There are lots of areas around the resort to continue visiting with one another after the program. Please try to come and bring your favorite stories of coach. He had been wanting to do a really big reunion and party with everyone so let&#8217;s make it happen for him! Desert Ridge Marriott.&#8221; &#8211; Kathy Gillett<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gillett\u00a0was a pioneer and leader in the application of underwater butterfly kicking in swim racing. \u00a0He was instrumental in the development of the monofin and making extended underwater breakouts a cornerstone of competitive racing. Gillett is probably most famous for leading <strong>Misty Hyman<\/strong> to her Gold medal-winning upset of \u201cMadame Butterfly II\u201d <strong>Susie O\u2019Neill<\/strong> at the 2000 Olympics on O\u2019Neill\u2019s home turf in Sydney, Australia. \u00a0Hyman introduced Gillett in the ASCA Hall of Fame with an impassioned and touching tribute as a coach and mentor. Under Gillett\u2019s guidance, Hyman was also a Jr National and National butterfly champion as well as the National High School record holder in the 100 yard butterfly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the loss of Gillett,\u00a0<strong>Chuck Wielgus,\u00a0<\/strong>USA Swimming&#8217;s Executive Director, explained,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"m_-6491901611153154268AppleMailSignature\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">I still call Misty Hyman&#8217;s incredible gold medal in Sydney one of the Olympics&#8217; most memorable moments. How Bob and Misty worked together to accomplish what most people thought couldn&#8217;t happen was simply amazing.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gillett\u2019s swimmers have won 20 national championships and 50 junior national championships &#8211; mostly at Arizona Desert Fox. \u00a0Featuring world-class underwater kicking, Gillett swimmer <strong>Cindy Tran<\/strong> was a national high school record holder in the 100 yard backstroke, becoming the first high school female to break 52.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wielgus added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #993366;\">When you think of the true innovators in the sport of swimming, Bob Gillett immediately comes to mind. He was constantly looking forward and creating new ways to help his swimmers improve. He was also always willing to share his knowledge with other coaches to help them work with their swimmers better. Bob will be missed by all of us in the swimming community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always known as an innovator, Gillett was ahead of the game in bringing swimming into the computer age. \u00a0In 1965 he developed the wheel calculator; in the early 70\u2019s he developed a computer program to show simulated race analysis; in 1978 he was the first to bring a micro-computer to the pool deck with his database system known as CAREPAK (Computer-Assisted Race Evaluation Package). \u00a0In 2010 the first prototypes of his Sprint Trainer were developed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gillett is the founder of NCSA (National Club Swimming Association), whose Spring Junior National Championship meets have grown to over 1600 athletes. \u00a0Through NCSA, Gillett has implemented all-expense-paid trips for a NCSA team to international competition &#8211; the first team competing in Ireland in 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gillett is a mentor coach in USA Swimming\u2019s Master Coach program &#8211; visiting clubs and sharing his expertise with clubs and college teams across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming World has learned from multiple sources that Coach Bob Gillette passed away Saturday, February 25th\u00a0in Phoenix, Arizona after suffering a heart attack.
