I apologize for the late notice; however we
got it arranged to do a Start & Turn Clinic for all swimmers
with the Lawrence Aquahawks from 8:00am-10:00am on Saturday, April
24th at Haskell. This clinic will be run with help from
Tony and Anthony Portela.
Anthony Portela is a former Minnesota Gopher,
NCAA All-American, 2008 US Olympic Trials Qualifier, and Puerto
Rican National Team swimmer. He will be in town to spend time with
his family and has agreed to work with our swimmers on their starts
and turns.
Anthony's Biographical information from the
University of Minnesota is attached here.
Tony Portela will also be available to work
with swimmers. Tony is a former standout for the Alabama Crimson
Tide, NCAA All-American, 1984 Olympian for Puerto Rico, and
Pan-American Games finalist.
Once again this clinic is open to ALL SWIMMERS
FOR THE LAWRENCE AQUAHAWKS. If you are swimming high school you
WILL NOT be able to attend due to the high school rules
restrictions.
