Paul Yetter has a blog...

... and it is awesome!!!

As this blog moves away from being oriented towards the goals and achievements of one team, I think linking to this specific article is a great first post! I'll be sure to keep linking articles and other swimming info here, with the hopes of helping kids to continue striving and working towards greater goals. Be sure to check back!
