Olympic swimmer
Robert Strauss and owner of SwimGym camps in Miami, reports that the
addition of log rolling to his summer aquatic camps is perfecto.
Camp started last week and Robert reports that the log rolling has been
a sensation at camp, and that kids are learning quickly!
He was unable to find an experienced teacher to go to Miami for the summer but thanks
to Sue Bulk of La Crosse, who sent him some teaching materials and a
training dvd, the instructors are finding their way and children are
loving it. He said, "Next year for sure you send me a real
lumberjack to run the station and it will really be the start of something big
in Aquatic Sports!!!"
Robert is a nationally known swim coach and promoter of good living
through aquatic sports, and he's proclaiming that log rolling will be
"something big in Aquatic Sports!!!".... Hallelujah! This is the first
log rolling program, that I am aware of, that has started up without
experienced teachers. It's very good news.
And the plastic log that the camp is using, while not ideal, appears to be good for
beginners and large aquatic programs. See the log product here: www.funwaterproducts.com
Thanks to Robert for his wonderful enthusiasm. As he says, "Why Swim, When
you can Fly!"
