“I was 8 years old when Louis Tudor “discovered” me on the Hunting Hills Swim Team. Louis saw something promising in me and encouraged me to start competitive swimming. He also realized that I was an anxious overachiever and tried his best to teach me to go easy on myself. Louis wanted swimming to be an outlet to release my stress and he wanted me to enjoy it for a lifetime. While other coaches were pushing me to make me faster and faster, Louis cared about me, he cared about my future and my overall well-being.  

Every time I jump in the water, I remember Louis and the lessons he taught me.   Hopefully, I will be able to pass on the valuable lessons he has taught me to younger swimmers and keep Louis’s legacy alive.”
