2008 Special - Brad Schumacher

Olympian Brad Schumacher is coming Thursday, June 19th 2008!

Brad will introduce himself, show his medal and speak about his experiences during the first 10 minutes of practice. After each age group, he will do a swim clinic.

Bradley has established himself as one of the all-time greats in aquatic sports earning two gold medals in the 1996 Olympic Games and representing the United States in water polo at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He is the only aquatics athlete in the world to become a world champion in both swimming and water polo. In 1998, he competed in World Championships in both sports. The last aquatics athlete to compete simultaneously at the World Class level was Bob Hughes at the 1956 Olympic Games. Bradley joins an elite group of aquatics stars that competed in both sports on the world-class level: Duke Khanamoku, Johnny Weissmuller, Bob Hughes, and Matt Biondi. As a world-class athlete in two sports, Bradley decided to focus his talents in the swimming arena preparing for 2004 Olympic Games. He is Co-Founder of Kap7, Inc, commercial pool equipment and supply company and Head Coach of SET Water Polo Club.
