Team Elite<\/a> head coach\u00a0David Marsh\u00a0<\/strong>finally returned his swimmers to the pool this week as California Governor Gavin Newsom <\/strong>allowed pools to re-open in the state.<\/p>\n

“Honestly it was pretty emotional yesterday when the Team Elite swimmers got back in the water,” David Marsh told\u00a0Swimming World<\/em>. “Probably the most profound thing was getting the group back together. We have been in backyard pools and various ocean training but never all together. We really have been missing that team community aspect and you sort of forget why a lot of people stick with swimming. To get that back just felt right and it didn’t hurt that it was a perfect day yesterday and the weather was perfect – it felt great to be in a beautiful outdoor pool.”<\/p>\n
