Check out my Google Plus album for more pictures from Swim with Mike.
My husband Jim and I arrived at the Uytengsu Swim Stadium fairly early at 10:00 a.m. There was already so much activity. There were swimmers everywhere completing their laps.
Trojan Candy saw friend Grant Nichol. He volunteers in the Massage Center every year. Here is Grant with friends Jacob Grieswold, Patricia Alderman and Daniel Schiavi.
It was so nice to see friend Kathleen DeCristo again. Kathleen used to work at USC but left to take care of her son.
Trojan Candy walked upstairs to the Kid's Corner. That is where the Women of Troy Basketball Team always volunteers. Yes, there they were!
While I was upstairs, I took a peek at the football practice going on downstairs in Howard Jones Field. Some football players will come for a swim relay in the pool after they finish their practice. Trojan Candy will definitely take pictures of them then. Stay tuned!
Next up was the Belly Flop Contest.
The Pep Squad also posed for me.
Sitting by the stage was Dr. Sammy Lee, his wife and his assistant Cathy Marino. Trojan Candy met Dr. Lee and his wife at the opening of the Uytengsu Swim Center on February 21st. I interviewed his assistant Cathy. Cathy competed in Kayak in the 1988 and 1992 Olympics. She has been a Fire Captain in Long Beach and volunteers for the para-Olympics. Now she accompanies Dr. Sammy and his wife to events. So nice to meet another Olympian! An honorary FIGHT ON, Cathy!
The football players pushed the song girls from one end of the pool, then a second team of football players pushed them back to the other end. When the relay ended, I took these pictures of the participants.
Then, as I left Swim with Mike to walk to the Tennis Stadium to join my husband Jim at the USC Men's Tennis match versus California, Trojan Candy saw three more football friends.
