Speaker - Jordan Braden

At Thursday's luncheon meeting, members welcomed Jordan Braden as the day's speaker. Jordan is the coach of Yoakum's successful summer swim team. As a team member for seventeen seasons, he is now at the helm coaching and training young swimmers in our area. The Yoakum team is in daily training for only two months out of the year which is far less than most area teams. Because of the short time for training and practice, Braden and coaches Lucy Coleman and Daniel Pohl, focus on technique to prepare swimmers for competition. Interested parents may contact the City of Yoakum for information on the 2017 summer program. Jordan is pictured above at right with Yoakum Rotary Club President and Program Chair, Larry Leahy.
