A Note From Coach Bob Bell

Hi Cougars and friends,

Last year was my 40th year coaching at Coronado H.S. My wife, Mary, and Debbie Glynn surprised me by nominating me for the “Best of the Springs 2015” with the Gazette. A few days before the deadline Mary and Debbie sent out emails to encourage former swimmers and families to vote. I ended up silver in Coach, High School category. I was amazed to be second. (http://www.thebestofthesprings.com/section/sports-recreation/) So, because of last year results my name is on the 2016 ballot.  Unlike last year, you do not need to type in my name.

Go to Gazette.com and click on the Best of Springs link.
Then, register to vote.  (You MUST register your email)

After you register, you sign in.

After you sign in, click on "Sports & Rec" on the top ribbon
Find "Coach, High School" tab
Click on “Coach, Bob Bell”. Fill in the comments if you wish.
Click on "Vote" button on the bottom of the box

I am still coaching and I’m planning on doing this for another 40 years (maybe not). In addition to coaching the boys I have been the assistant coach for the girls team the past 6 years and still enjoy the challenges. 

Thanks for your vote,

 Bob

Team Pics

Coach,

We have had to make some changes with our online picture ordering website due to the fact that our old one shut down with very short notice. Our new site though is up and running. You can find it at our website aprephoto.com or directly at https://vando.imagequix.com/Q9HTS99. The events are sorted by the date they were taken. You can search for your specific event in the search tool bar at the top of the page. The password is Colorado for the events. If you could forward this to all of your kids and their parents that would be great. Thank you for your understanding and patience with this new system and if you have any questions regarding the new site please do not hesitate to contact us.

Volunteer Opportunity at The Olympic Training Center

Hello Everyone!

In memory of Jimi Flowers, the USOC will be hosting The Jimi Flowers Classic Swim Meet on January 16-17, 2016. This meet will be an exciting world class competition held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs featuring several of the USA’s top Paralympic swimmers.

For those who never had a chance to meet Jimi, he was an extraordinary husband, father, USOC staff member and swim coach who died on July 10, 2009 following a climbing accident near Aspen.   I encourage you to take a moment and watch this video about Jimi. It captures who Jimi was and how he touched all of our lives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuBjK0CJMb4.  He was a coach, character and friend to all! 

We currently are looking for volunteers to help with timing (pushing a button on a stopwatch) during the swim meet. No prior experience necessary! We may also need volunteers for other miscellaneous jobs throughout the competition. There are three swimming sessions and we will need 22-24 volunteers for each one. If you are interested in volunteering or know of someone that would be, please send an email to patty.sturm@usoc.org with the session(s) that will work for you. 

Session 1:  Saturday, January 16;  8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Session 2:  Saturday, January 16;  4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Session 3:  Sunday, January 17;  8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Positions are first come, first serve.
  
All of the proceeds from this event go to the Sam and Lauren Flowers college fund. Thank you so much for your interest in carrying out our friend’s legacy!
