Monthly Calendar

Posted on September 13, 2016 by Victoria

Together, Ted and I have developed a simple month to month calendar, highlighting the main focus of each practice. We strongly encourage attendance to as many practices as possible, and also wish to encourage the development of well rounded athletes. As always, we are available and open to questions, and contact information for both coaches is listed on the calendar.

Bob McRory

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Barry Lewis

With great sadness, I announce that one of our respected elder members, Mr. Bob McRory, passepic2d away on August 3, 2016.

Bob was one of the people who built the foundation of the Edmonton Masters Swim Club. We are known and respected wherever swim meets are held, and we have every reason to be proud of the team and thankful for the people who started it.  Bob was one of those people.

Terry Dewhurst, now the last remaining member of the “Druid Drinking Team” (pictured: Larry Judge, Terry Dewhurst , Bob McRory, and Jack Boddington), has fond memories of Bob.  He recalls that Bob proudly wore the ring that he received over twenty years ago at the City of Edmonton’s Salute to Excellence Awards Ceremony for representing the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Masters Swim Club.

edmonton-alta-april-14-2012-left-right-jack-boddingtThe “Druid Drinking Team” (pictured: Jack Boddington, Bob McRory, Larry Judge, and Terry Dewhurst) achieved fame for competing as a 320+ relay team.  However, when Bob’s name was misspelled in the FINA World Top Ten results, he sent me the following note, aptly demonstrating his dry sense of humor:  As you know, I came out of retirement to fill in the 320+ relay team. I thought if I did that (which I did), my name would appear on the results, so people would know I’m still alive. Unfortunately, that didn’t work too well. Some guy named Bob MacQuarrie took my place.

Maybe you could tell the non-noon swimmers that I still exist.
 
Thanks
 
Bob (not MacQuarrie)
