Any swim parents out there? Something the kids might enjoy...swimmers or not. It's been given some very good reviews. www.pridefilm.com/site.php

  • I met Jim Ellis sometime in the mid-80s at an age-group meet, and have made it a point to stop and say hello when we traveled to the same meets ever since. He has always been good to me, as were his swimmers (even when they were kicking my tail up and down the pool), and that smile of his is infectious. It was always fun and inspiring to see how he got excited to see all the swimmers do well, even those (like me) who didn't swim for him. I am looking forward to seeing the movie to see how much of Jim they actually captured in his character. I have a feeling that it's a fitting tribute to a great coach and a great program. Sight unseen, I'd recommend the movie to anyone... and if you live in metro Philly and are looking for a USA-S program for you or your kids to join, don't pass it over: Jim has developed a number of talented future D1 swimmers, and has a real team record book to show for it. Now we just have to get him to start a Masters program... ;) Chris Colburn Coaches Committee Vice-Chair On-Deck Coaching Coordinator
