Breakfast - 06/25/10
After a tough morning practice of swimming long course meters, Head Coach Scott Robson treats his swimmers to breakfast.
Summer Picnic - 6/13/10
The summer picnic brought out the best in everyone. Coach Scott Robson, Coach Dave Sivak, Coach Chris Flamion & Coach Brian Sivak led the kids in an active game of b-ball. The game started in the sun and ended in the rain. However, they didn't let the rain dampen the spirits of the day. The coaches somehow convinced everyone to continue playing in the rain and a little mud too. Then, they started a great water balloon fight. Lots of fun was had by all.
 
 
 
Lake Swim - 6/12/10
Last weekend, Head Coach Scott Robson moved early morning practice 50 miles away to swim in a lake instead of a pool. We had over 20 of our National and Pre-National swimmers make the trip to participate in a 2 mile lake swim. It was a little different swimming in a lake - there are no lines to follow, only one turn and the swimmers can't see the other end. After the workout, the swimmers enjoyed well deserved fun in the water, on the beach and a BBQ.
Since the swimmers had so much fun, Coach Scott is already planning the next lake swim
 
 
 
 
Kane County Cougar Game

Under the leadership of Head Coach Scott Robson, we had a huge turnout of Ryall volunteers to help out with the Chase to the Taste of Glen Ellyn. The 5K and 1 Mile Youth run kick off the Taste of Glen Ellyn. We had over 25 volunteers that helped ensure a smooth run.
Our very own Anna Darling, Eve Darling and Neil Livingston participated in the 1 Mile Youth Run with Neil taking 1st place overall – Congratulations Neil.
Thank you to all Ryall volunteers for showing off your Ryall Pride and for helping make the Chase to the Taste a successful event.
