Newspaper story on a masters team

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!

    Originally posted by knelson The article gave me the impression he takes swimming seriously and is only interested in working with swimmers who feel the same way. Nothing wrong with that, in my book. Hard to know without having swum for him, but it seems to me "hard ass" might be appropriate, but probably not "jackass." Nothing wrong with it at all. If everbody is happy then there is no issue, nobody is being forced to listen to the guy. However, it does not change the fact that his personality is coarse and abrasive at the very least.
