2014 Eagle Island State Park Penguin Plunge
“The 2014 Penguin Plunge to raise money for Special Olympics Idaho. This is one continuous take with a Nikon AW110 in my right hand. In previous years this was done in a portable swimming pool set up in Meridian. This year they moved it a few miles north to Eagle Island State Park, where they cut a big hole in the ice on Eagle Island Pond. The pond is not very deep. but it forms some very thick ice in winter.”

Australian swimmers will shine at Rio Olympics in 2016 says head coach Jacco Verhaeren
Read news.com.auHead coach Jacco Verhaeren has predicted an immediate Olympic bounce back by Australia at Rio in 2016 with the new team boss impressed by the existing stars and emerging teenage talent in the pool.
Charged with making Australia the world No.1 swimming nation by the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Verhaeren is confident the swim team can make significant steps forward in the next two years as they rebound from the London disaster.
“I think we definitely should see it in the long term, but I see at the same time that we have enough potential for Rio. Not to become No.1 in the world as a country, but to do very good,” Verhaeren said.
