Belgaum: Rotary Pool Visit

This evening the team went to visit The Belgaum Swimmers Club which practices out of a pool the Belgaum Rotary supports. The city run pool was about to close when the Rotary stepped in to support the program  The team coach introduced us to a number of the Clubs decorated athletes. The club has produced a number of champions at the international level, as well it has trained a swimmer who completed a swim across The English Channel.

They also have an amazing program for blind children. One of the girls from that program, totally blind, jumped off the high diving board for us. The program is hugely successful.  The Rotary Club even provides transportation for swimmers and evening practice is followed by dinner for everyone.  Amazing work!!
