The magnificent Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Sports Complex during pre-competition training just before the Dubai 2010 World Short Course Swimming Championships began, venue of the Dubai 2012 World Cup leg these days.

Tyler McGill Leads Coaches v. Cancer Fighting Irish Swim Camp
It isn’t every day that an Olympic gold medalist is at Notre Dame. It is even more rare for an Olympic gold medalist to voluntarily journey to South Bend for a swimming clinic. But this was not your average swimming clinic and Tyler McGill is not your average Olympic gold medalist. Read more here on ND Blogs:

To be able to come here and raise funds for that foundation and teach the kids butterfly at the same time, is a no-brainer.â€
