0206 - Urho Saari Swim Stadium El Segundo

I had grown up on stories from my father of the great swimmer, Roy Saari, but didn't know about his father's history in the sport as a coach until I dropped in for a workout one morning with the excellent SCAQ Masters team. This was one of the hardest workouts in recent memory as I got pushed on a very hard distance set by a young woman home from college for the summer.
