This is a picture of Coach Lewis from the 1 K swim awhile ago so you can remember what he looks like (didn't want to take a new picture of him for the blog cause that just makes me seem- I don't know..... stalker-ish). Such a cutie, really nice coach for the girls. SO patient, and you can really see their strokes are coming along. He is always in the water with them making sure the swimmers strokes are effective. Very playful with them....today he was chasing behind them with the pool skimmer saying "oy, go faster or I scoop your feet".
Anyway, wanted to give you a quick quote from practice today:
As Maddie is on the block going to dive, he says "Grab with your fingers (sounds more like "grob weet you feengers" so Maddie reaches further over with her hands- and he says "no your other fingers". Meaning of course- her toes.
Really just adds to the cuteness of him- when he misspeaks.
He tries so hard to be sure the girls understand him, so you can't really fault him. What he doesn't have in english skills he makes up for in effort. All part of the charm that is the girls swim team. Great swimming, and great cultural experience wrapped into one.
