A group of Grunions pose for posterity right before the Long Beach Gay Pride Parade on May 17 2009The Grunion Gang showed up in force and wowed the crowd at the Long Beach Pride Parade this past Sunday. 

Despite the clouds, water guns were blazing and the crowd was cheering as our group marched, squirted and shook our pom-poms down Ocean Boulevard. 

A special thanks to Kenny and Steve for offering up
their truck as our mobile-hydro-replenishing-station again this year, and to John Makinson for giving the early morning pit crew a place to fill up Kenny's truck before the parade. 

Thank you also to everyone who came out and made the parade possible, and I hope to see you all next year!!

Drill, Stroke and Swim Clinics on Wednesdays PDF Print E-mail

Raul ReisWith summer just around the corner (Memorial Day has come and gone, after all!), I can't think of a better time to get back in the pool. To make matters easier and more interesting for those who are still not convinced, our own Dr. Tom Boyd has been conducting drill, swim and stroke clinics on Wednesday nights at Victoria.

As you all know, Dr. Tom is a very patient and knowledgeable coach, and under different circumstances, swimmers would be paying good money to attend one of his clinics. But it's free for us!

So, get yourself to Victoria pool on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. for Dr. Tom's clinics, and come back the other nights (or mornings), to put in practice what you've learned!

The date of this year's Naples Island Swim (NIS) is Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009. We are holding it a little bit later this year to accommodate IGLA and other swimming events. So mark your calendars for that beautiful, sunny day.

Also, we are now putting together the NIS Committee to help plan, organize and run this event. I will be heading up the swim again this year and need some wonderful folks to execute the swim in true Grunion style.

We are looking for a handful of Grunions to help carry out specific roles. These include marketing, publicity, sponsorships as well as other areas. If you are interested in donating some of your time and brain power, please let me know as soon as possible ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
