When you were a kid, who was the person(s) you looked up to as the swimmer you wished you were. Or, who do you see as an older person you respect, swimmingly, right now?
I have a couple: Bill Yorzyck, Bob Proebsting, Wally Dobler.
Before I was a flyer, I can remember poring over swim magazines and loving to read about Lance Larson, Murray Rose, George Breen........
You got any ????

Great coaches !
1. George Gate - Ocean Falls, BC - so far ahead of his time; I could never hope to have been this good as a coach !
2. Monte Nitzkowsky (sp?) - Long Beach C.C. in the 50's - better known for water polo, but he knew his stuff about swimming too.
These guys were not only great stroke mechanics, they were mentors and leaders, too.......................... Bert
