Hi all,

Don here for coach — sharing a recent pic of two Goshen swimming legends, brothers John and Dave Gibson. Both are former swimmers turned highly successful coaches, now at Fort Wayne Aquatics and the Fort Lauderdale Hall of Fame.

State champions, regional champions, Olympians, and international champions all have these two to thank for their success.

Swimming offers it all: community, family, and individual opportunity.

Hi all this is Don Macdonald.

I wanted to share for me personally the single message I learned from coach, about being a champion. I lost many more times than I won. This is my interpretation of a life spent trying not half ass it!

Young Goshen swimmers, you wanna meet one one of the most prominent and authentic local Goshen swimmers who is a hometown hero… allow me introduce (again) … Steve Conder.

Many don’t know he is one of the winningest Goshen swimmers, coached and lives in Goshen.

He is likely responsible for many of our clubs, high schools and swimmers success because of his selflessness and humility. A fierce competitor and friend to many always the MVP!

You have walked past him on Main Street and never knew it. He is the heart of Goshen swimming.

A Coach Rathke disciple, and others, his heart was always and is Goshen swimming. Not for for politics ( but who of us is).

Someone once told me, Steve is the guy you want with you when life serves you tough love, trials and test.

I’m now 63 and can say you’re the best! A fierce competitor who made me better!

Sometimes leaders stand alone and behind.

Thanks Steve!
