Mutual of Omaha hosted the Swim Stars Live 2 event on Thursday night. Several B-T swimmers attended and got to see the members of the Mutual of Omaha Gold Medal Team up close! The event began with a parade of champions followed by a question and answer session. B-T swimmer, Austin Kent, did a great job as our club reporter. Later in the evening, everyone moved to the dome area for an autograph session. Several of our swimmers told me their favorite part was getting to hold Olympic Gold Medals.
Aaron Peirsol, autographed some Face-Up First caps for us. Aaron was the 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist in the 100 and 200 meter backstrokes. He is a very fast FACE-UP FIRST swimmer!
Mutual of Omaha is a longtime sponsor of USA Swimming. You learn more about the Gold Medal team at http://www.mutualofomaha.com/usaswim/. Click on "Meet Our Swimmers."
Mutual of Omaha also sponsors our own Mutual of Omaha B-T 500 Challenge.
If anyone who attended has photos of the event that you would like to share, I'd like to post them on the website. Please send them to me at aquatics@brownell.edu.
We swim for good times: fast times when we compete and fun times every time we get in the pool together. You can too! Face-Up First Swimming is also the home of the popular online course, Water Safety Education for Parents and Caregivers. My name is Jeanie Neal and I developed Face-Up First swimming and put together the online course.
