Recently, at the Bowdoin Open, in Brunswick, Maine, Brian Keane made his first Speedo Sectional Championship cut time in the 200 yard free. His first swim of the meet, leading off the Kingfish 800 free relay, was good enough to qualify him to swim in March at the University of Maryland with some of the best swimmers on the east coast. Congratulations Brian!!!!

KINGFISH TRAIN WITH OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALISTS AT BREAKOUT SWIM CLINIC

Several Kingfish swimmers got the thrill of their youg careers when they got the opportunity to train with Olympic Gold medalists Josh Davis and Aaron Piersol at Mutual of Omaha's Breakout Swim Clinic, hosted by the Weymouth Waves on October 27th. Swimmers were treated to small group instruction and got the chance to race against the Olympians. Just as much fun were the phto ops with Davis, Piersol, and their Olympic medals. The clinic was a great opportunity to raise the bar for the 2007-8 season!
