With the 2012 Summer Olympics just around the corner, local swimmers were busy getting ready for end of season competitions. Kim Vandenberg, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist and UCLA All-American, recently joined LMYA's coaches to help team members prepare for the inaugural Lafayette Swim Conference Championship and the upcoming Contra Costa County Swim Meet.
"This community was incredibly supportive during my swimming career; it is my turn to support future generations of Lamorinda Olympians," Vandenberg said.
Head Coach Marc Cavallero believes the Moraga native's experience will inspire local swimmers to swim with confidence. "We are lucky to add Kim to a group that includes U.S. National and NCAA champion Hayley Peirsol and former Cal men's swim team member and school record holder Peter Davis. I'm confident their big meet experience will serve our team well."
