As the time
for the challenge comes closer we need to celebrate the victories
to prepare for the battle.
An article in the New York Times
confirms our intention to become the leaders and the best in the
area of technology associated with fast swimming. When you read this understand
that we affirm that our University demands that we move forward in
both our sport and lives with understanding and questions. Go
Blue!!!

In another direction of
modernization one of our elite post graduates Bobby Savulich has
set up a fan page on Face Book ‘Club Wolverine’ is an
educational and informative site that’s posts weekly videos
of drills, technique tips as well as showing the lighter side of
training. Check it
out!

Finally we are reaching out to
the community in clinics and talks. Recently in Troy Michigan a
group of over 200 gathered to watch Michigan men and women swim
fast and share the fun. There was racing, motivational
talks, and good will to go around.

In the summer the change of pace
pulls both the men and women Wolverines together under one
banner. We train
together, travel and win together. After a very successful win for
Michigan in Montreal Canada, we are heading to the World
Championship and Pan Pacific Games trials in Irvine
California. Watch us

The CW Elite group also
had a great time sending off the age group kids to last weeks
Sectional meet. They swam well and we are excited for their
accomplishments. Thanks to the Boland's for letting us use
their house for this event.
Please Plan to join us for
Michigan's 2010 Homecoming swimming activities the week end of
October 16th and 17th.We will celebrate the
years of great coaching and Olympic glory produced during the Matt
Mann, Gus Stager, Jon Urbanchek and Bob Bowmen eras. Celebrations
include but are not limited to the BBQ and game on Saturday and a
night of Olympic Games on Sunday at the Union. More to
come on these events as the dates draw near.
A win is a win when the spirit
blows across the finish and the win is a growth in heart and a
whisper of understanding.
Go Blue and go CW!!!!
Coach Mike Bottom
