Coach Rathke

More great swims, the phoenix is rising

More successful times and season.

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!

Mondays gone - what did you achieve? Still waiting on “the new week? The next day? Next month?” So WHEN? When is it going to happen? YOU are the only person standing infront of YOU. Get it done, RIGHT NOW - whatever you can do the moment you’re reading this, do it. Do more starting now 🤝 #MondayMotivation #Mindest #Pingittt #inspiration #transformation

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!

For all you Goshen swimmers here is one of our best divers who is winning and teaching generations (just like you and your kids)!

Hi all Goshen swimming alumni

Isn’t it about time for that workout of 100 x 100’s.

Let’s challenge the new generation of Goshen Rays Swim Club to see if they can survive

Hi everyone Don here for coach.

It’s wonderful to see the excitement and enthusiasm in the program from volunteers to swimmers so job well done.

Keep up the great work!
