We are all trying to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic as best we can. Staying at home and not socializing is not an easy task for anyone, and keeping a swimmer out of the pool is equally antagonizing. Therefore, SwimSwam is starting the Swimming From Home Talk Show, where host Coleman Hodges speaks with the swimming community about how they’re coping with our current goggle-less reality.
2-time Olympian Kaitlin Sandeno gave us the ISL update during the quarantine. She has confirmed that her DC Trident roster is just about complete, and that through the ISL Solidarity Program, there could be a 4-5 week training camp for all 10 ISL teams in one location come this fall (travel restrictions allowing). Sandeno also gives a very emotional recap on her sisters last chemotherapy session, and the celebration that ensued.
Kaitin, you’ve got a great outlook. Swimming has many excellent role models and ambassadors, and you’re one of them. Thank you.
