Meg Norman at Special Olympics Nationals
 Meg is a long-time Dad’s Club Special Olympian swimmer who was chosen to represent Texas Special Olympics Swimming at the National Meet in Seattle in early July. She had an outstanding performance by winning two gold medals, a silver medal and a 4th place finish. While that is all pretty terrific, one of her gold medal performances was covered on TV by Rowdy Gaines in ESPN nightly coverage of the games during the 25M Butterfly. It was also followed up by a poolside interview with Meg who was proud to bring home her gold medal to Houston. Meg's post race interview https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BygLuTLsquWJamNBbmdqejVtbVZzYXZyRjYyNmFzWVR3NW8w Meg and her parents were given the Humanitarian Award in Houston for their community efforts with the special Olympics program. Way to go Meg!

Lifeguard Golden Backboard Award
 e rine and Ashlyn have both been valuable members of our safety staff for over four years at Dads. The Golden Backboard is an award to be given at the end of the summer to two members of the safety team who exemplified Red Cross standards in preforming their day to day responsibilities and who win our final summer. In the simulation the victim has a spinal injury and goal is to complete the rescue maintaining spine stabilization, placing the victim on a backboard, and extricating the victim without causing further injury. Catherine and Ashlyn demonstrated real "girl power" as they pulled the victim from the bottom of the deep end and out of the pool faster than the other teams. |
