If you're reading this, you've probably been referred to this blog either by myself or by my swim coach Mark Fino, who I've been told is going to do something to get people at Oberlin's Athletic Department to read it.
That means that you should know the basics behind this blog, but we'll cover them anyways.
My name is Daniel Holm, and I am a 3rd Year History Major at Oberlin College, a liberal arts school located closest to Cleveland, Ohio. More importantly for this blog I am a member of the Oberlin College Swimming and Diving Team, a Division 3 NCAA team that, like most other NCAA teams, goes on a training trip to somewhere warm during the winter months. We are like migratory birds in this way.
The purpose of this blog is to detail not only my expierences of the Oberlin Swimming and Diving Team's 2009 trip to Key Largo, Florida, but to generally create a more detailed understanding of the entire training trip process for those of us unlucky enough to never be able to take such a trip.
This will be facilitated by (hopefully) daily updates in which I will write about a certain aspect of the training trip expierence, whether it be the actual swimming, the accomodations that we live in, activities we do besides swimming, or the minutae of living with your teammates.
Comments, of course, are more then welcome.

Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude
ReplyDeleteCould you post a couple of the practices? This is, of course, if you can bring yourself to think about ever swimming again after completing them! Thanks
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I just came across this on the swimming website! I need to find time to read through all of them since I didn't find it until you were done. See you Saturday!! May the ONU meet not be as long and awful as the last time we went there...
