The USOC will be hosting The Jimi Flowers Classic
Swim Meet on June 2-3, 2018. 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.
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!
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 email me at patty.sturm@usoc.org with the
session(s) that will work for you.

Session 3: Sunday, June 3;

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!
