Would you like to join the FLOAT & Josh Project Groups? I would appreciate it if you would. Thank you and thanks for the interview on Saturday - it was nice to meet you. I hope that your efforts for water safety in the schools is embraced and recognized as the life skill it is. Good Luck!! Josh's mom wanda
As far as the coaches, no diversity there. But in my son's case, it's much more important for him to have a nurturing knowledgeable no-nonsense coach, and GMU's dive coach embodies those things. My son has become a much better diver as a result of having Roland as his dive coach. I've met Peter, the head swim coach but don't know him at all.
The school is a good one for sure, we have no complaints about GMU. I admire your daughter for focusing on her studies, especially since they can't/won't major in "sports participation." LOL My son was recruited by GMU to dive, so that was the biggest factor in his decision of where to go to college.
let me know if you have other questions, and continued good luck.
by the way, I see you and I have related professions. I've spent more than 25 years as a TV producer and on-camera host. maybe we'll chat someday.
