Mickey Wender, UW Swimming Head Coach, gave an inspiring talk to IST athletes, coaches, and parents at our second annual Celebration Evaluation on Saturday, July 8th.

Coach Wender complimented both IST's coaching staff and IST athletes for their pursuit of exellence in swimming.  He remarked on the uniqueness of swimming as a technique-driven sport, and mentioned that he can always recognize an IST swimmer at his summer swim camps because of the emphasis Coach Kyle places on proper technique in the water. 

Some parents have asked about the Nike Swim Camps at the University of Washington.  General information can be found at http://www.ussportscamps.com.  Coach Wender said that there are still a few vacancies in the July 16-19 day camp, and that those interested can call his wife, Kate Wender, directly at 206 527-8700 for more information.
