Coach and Members of The Race Club,

As the parent of Alexander Pantin  and as a professional involved in world wide global logistics for the past 25 years, I think I know a little bit about dealing with children and with dealing with various cultures.

I should like to commend you for the dedication and commitment which I saw by all of your team during the couple of days that I was able to come down to Islamorada this week. I immediately noticed a change in Alexander’s performance and I can only attribute it to the extra tips he gleaned from being at TRC as well as the way in which you are able to motivate these young adults.

I was unable to say too much while being there because I am sensitive to how easily these teens can be embarrassed by simple actions of their parents, but now that I am back home, and given that you will not see this until their last day, I felt compelled to write to you to express my sincere Thanks and Appreciation for the work which you did with these Trinidad swimmers this past week.

May God continue to Bless you in your efforts and with your work with the next generation.
