Bonding with a Purpose

This is my 14th season as the Head Coach for the Wahlert Catholic Swimming and Diving Team.  We have ALWAYS had a team-building day.....whether going to Noah's Ark, Four Mounds Ropes Course, Mines of Spain, or many others......this year surpassed all of them!  My team used some money from our club account to purchase food to make a meal for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Iowa City.  The captains bought all the ingredients and I split up the 3 Wahlert vehicles into teams of 7 girls....separating close friends and making sure all ages were in each suburban.  The girls had a great time while giving back to others.  After we finished at the Ronald McDonald house we went to the new University of Iowa Pool for a quick swim, followed by a Scavenger Hunt on campus.  It was a great team-building day!

 My team!
 The girls gave beach balls to the kids.....here they are with some of them as we were getting ready to leave the Ronald McDonald House.
