Ted Mullin ‘Hour of Power’ Relay: a Swimmer’s Perspective

The Ted Mullin Leave it in the Pool Hour of Power tradition was brought to Pomona-Pitzer swimming by our head coach, Jean-Paul Gowdy, when he transferred from Wheaton College.   As an incoming freshman, I was introduced to a multitude of new experiences, but the Hour of Power stands out clearly.  Now, as a recent graduate, it remains one of my favorite memories.  Nothing brings a team closer together than spending an hour racing, listening to music, eating cookies during the “sugar fuel break” and most importantly, raising awareness and money for cancer research.
