2009 Swimathon a Raging Water Success!

On January 23, 38 Pirates participated in our sixth annual Swimathon fundraiser.  Our swimmers swam 5,457 laps, which is 136,425 yards, or over 77 1/2 miles.  Two more swimmers added 236 laps on Feb. 13, bringing the team’s total to 142,325 yards, or almost 81 miles.  This year we raised $10,183 to help our team!  Thank you everyone for your great efforts in helping to support our team!   

Natalie Coughlin Swims with the Pirates!

Olympic gold medalist Natalie Coughlin joined the YMCA Presidio Aquatics Club for its regular Thursday morning practice on Nov. 20.  Natalie warmed up and demonstrated some of her favorite drills to the 50 swimmers present, then cheered on during relays.  After practice the team got to sit down with Natalie and ask her questions about her career, her early years, the excitement of winning Olympic Gold, and her interest in cooking.

Pirate parent Mary Jane Call blogged about Natalie’s visit at her Wise Ideas site.
