Thoughts and Prayers
Chuck Wielgus, executive director of USA Swimming, has been battling cancer for the past several years. Sadly, he has had a recurrence, but there is no one more optimistic than Chuck and he is under the care of some of the best doctors in the world. As part of his treatment, he will be undergoing surgery this month and, as a result, will be out of the USA Swimming office for 6-8 weeks. There is no one who is a stronger fighter than Chuck Wielgus and we are all very optimistic he will win this battle. Please keep Chuck and his family in your thoughts and prayers..
