George Boles was the coach at a swim camp that I attended in Tuscaloosa (U of Alabama) in the early 80's. While living in Atlanta and swimming for GAJA, I attended the St.Pete meets during my spring break and summer. I made many good friends who were members of the St. Pete team. I visited my parents often in Sarasota and drove to St. Pete to practice with George and my friends. He often wrote individual workouts for his swimmers and gave me encouragement at meets. I miss you George. He was a wonderful and caring coach.
