About me: Used to swim AAU from the age of 4 up until 16. Best stroke used to Fly but now I don\'t think I can do any stroke well. So I am a begginer on all strokes.

About me: I grew up on a farm in Idaho. Prior to QUAC, my formal swimming experience consisted of earning the swimming merit badge and playing in Idaho canal water. I've been averse to team sports most of my life due to health conditions; however, through dedicated practice with QUAC, I've built my endurance, lost weight, and feel much better about myself. When I first started, I could barely swim 25 yards without feeling like I was drowning - now I'm swimming in competition and having a blast! The club is filled with so many wonderful people and I look forward to swimming with them at every practice.

About me: I swam a little bit of age group swimming, and also in high school. I was never among the fastest, but enjoyed it. I am slower now, and completely out of shape, but would like to change that. I like to sing, ski, and kayak (white-water). We march at Pride every year and the Quackers seemed to be having a ton of fun!

About me: I am one of QUACs cocktail lane requlars. I grew up around the water and aquatics has always been a big part of my life, but not until joining QUAC have I been a member of an organized swim team. QUACs regualar workouts and fun-loving team members have kept me coming back.

About me: GWM Seeks... (just kidding). Actually, I'm just getting back into the Masters program after a six-year absence. I'm carrying a little extra around the middle right now, which slows me down. However, I'm getting strong enough, after swimming a few months on my own, to start swimming with the team regularly. Just a little bit about me - I'm an avid outdoorsman that loves to hike, camp, mountain bike, snow shoe, ski or to just take a nice evening walk. I don't know many people here in the valley that truly enjoy these activities and I'm always looking for those that do... so, if you have these similar interests and you're looking for company feel free to call or email and let's hit the trails.

About me: Because of two near fatal drowning accidents in my youth, I was never a swimmer. I joined Quac to \'learn how to swim.\' It has been a great year and I have made a lot of progress. Although the breast and butterfly still alude me somewhat, I am committed to make improvments in those areas, as well.

About me: I grew up in a small town in Argentina next to the big and slow Uruguay River. I spent the summers swimming in the river, trying to make it to the islands and to Uruguay on the other side. Without any formal instruction, I continued to swim on and off in Buenos Aires, Utah, and Toronto, until finally settling in Salt Lake. I knew about QUAC for a long time but procrastinated until a friend dragged me over during 'Bring a Friend to QUAC' week. I wish I had joined sooner. I am finally learning how to really swim, and the friendly, supportive, fun, and non-threatening atmosphere is making this happen. Cheers to the founders, organizers, coaches, and co-swimmers of QUAC!

About me: I grew up in Arizona where swimming pools are necessary for survival. I could swim by the time I was three and pretty much lived in the pool from April until October until we moved when I was thirteen. I wanted to try out for the swim team in High School, but allowed myself to be dissuaded. QUAC has given me my second chance to swim for a team. Better still is an atomosphere that is more about personal bests and and enjoying yourself than rivalry and competition. The coaches are great, the atmosphere serious, but relaxed. If swimming is something you\'ve always wanted to try, this is the place to do it.
