Swimming with Olympians

Sixth grader Meredith Frasier (pictured, at left) and Olympian Josh Davis (at right) say, “Hook ’em, Horns,” at The University of Texas swim camp. Former Longhorn swimmers who went on to compete with the U.S. Olympic swim team coach and inspire the young athletes at the annual summer camp. This was Meredith’s second year to attend, and she joined elite swimmers from across the country.  A student at Annunciation Orthodox School, Meredith swims year round with the Briar Club and RICE Aquatics and practices four or five  days each week. She hopes to continue swimming into high school, like her older sister Isabel, who swims with RICE Aquatics and Episcopal High School. After that, Meredith has her sights set on a college swim team and maybe even following in Josh Davis’ footsteps to the Olympics.
