During the years of 1991 and 1992 I swam 3 different workouts per day (over 6 hrs. every day)
-The Third workout was at the Ogden Athletic Club with a few friends of mine, coached by Keith
Donaldson. We called
ourselves Swimmers of the Ogden Athletic Club or SOAC.
*A special thanks to the coaches and families we swam with all those
years in our struggle to
excel in a sport like swimming in a state
like Utah.
