Here's a nice writeup on the masters team in Beaufort, SC: www.beaufortgazette.com/.../5955112p-5242196c.html
I imagine Skip Thompson will remember Coach Fetters.
Anyway, I don't see too many write-ups about masters swimming in the paper, or adult sports in general, so this is good to see!

This comes after Coach starts practice with not a congratulatory speech for another meet victory but discussing how swimmers in the breaststroke and relays were disqualified.
He singles out individuals for not paying attention, calls their technique "sad, just sad" and is described by team members as cantankerous.
Whoever cannot handle the competitiveness leaves. There is no other choice. "They follow my rules or else," Coach says.
Those are my reasons.
It is also noted that he does some rather nice things for the team but hey, I stand by my description.
