Happy Holidays from the Husky Swimming Foundation!  It has been quite a while since our last update, but the Foundation has definitely been working hard over the last few months.  Our focus continues to be our Lost Dawg Campaign as we attempt to rally all former Huskies behind our effort.  Again, please forward our information to any lost swimmers out there!

We have also taken an active role in Northwest Swimming.  Under the direction of Brandon Drawz, the Foundation has  bid to host the 2011 Sectional Championships in Federal Way–it looks as though it will be a successful bid and we are excited to have the opportunity to keep a strong presence in the Pacific Northwest swimming community.  Related to this event, the Foundation has also committed to resurrecting the Husky Invitational.  Former coaches Jana Vincent and Earl Ellis have expressed interest in ensuring we get this project up and running.  With the full support of the Foundation, we have no doubt that these meets will be a resounding success!

We have also reached out to a local organization which has been actively promoting the development of additional pools in the Seattle area.  In 2008, the Seattle City Council directed the Parks and Recreation Department to conduct a feasibility study for a new outdoor pool in Seattle.  The Foundation is circling the wagons and hoping to tap into this development as we progress towards our goals.

Our last piece of news is the introduction of our newest Board member, Cam Gravrock (Class of 1997)–we’re happy to have Cam join our team and look forward to working with him!

Again, Happy Holidays from the Husky Swimming Foundation!   Cheers!
