Coach Frank

January 20, 2011 by Steve Mentz Leave a Comment

Met the head Master’s Swimming coach at the YMCA this morning.  Frank Keefe coached the US Olympic team in 84, Yale in the early 90s, and a variety of other places, including the Bermuda team at one point.

He told me to work on the flex in my ankles & knees while kicking (fins help here), and to reach farther out with my arms.  Good to have a stroke coach after 20 years.

500 yds @ 8:16 today, roughly the same as my split time from the 1000 before I went off to LA.

Join us next week for An Exploration of THE MERCHANT OF VENICE with actor John Douglas Thompson in the role of Shylock and director Arin Arbus, joined by a diverse cast, as they explore one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays and its flawed central character.
