Both were star swimmers at the University of Washington and Olympic prospects. By the time he was in his early 20\u2019s, he was one of the best swimmers in the world and represented the United States at the Munich and Montreal Olympic Games.\u00a0 He won a bronze medal in the 200m breaststroke in Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>After swimming, Rick Colella then took a job with Boeing as a flight-operations engineer and dabbled in other sports including running, canoeing and Nordic skiing. In 1990, the year the King County Aquatics Center was built for the Goodwill Games, Colella started swimming again with a group of five friends.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_390210\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-390210\" data-attachment-id=\"390210\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2x-olympian-rick-colella-to-be-inducted-into-masters-international-swimming-hall-of-fame\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"400,426\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rick Colella with Coach Bob Miller from Cascade and Totem Lake, Masters Nationals in Santa Clara 2014; Photo Courtesy: Rick Colella&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-390210\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014.jpg\" alt=\"coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014\" width=\"400\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014.jpg 400w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014-188x200.jpg 188w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014-300x320.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/coach-from-cascade-and-totem-lake-1967-1976-bob-miller-at-masters-nationals-santa-clara-2014-150x160.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-390210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rick Colella with the coach from Cascade and Totem Lake; Photo Courtesy: Rick Colella<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I realized swimming is a great exercise as you get older.
