The
Swimming Program:
During
the summer of 2000, ISE took eight (8) swimmers to Israel. They were
trained by the prior Israeli national coach, competed in a local swim meet,
toured Israel
and
were hosted by families in different parts of Israel. The highlight of the
competitive part of the trip came when the swimmers competed in the Israeli
National Championship Meet. Beth Adler, an ISE participant, almost
touched-out the Israeli National Champion and Olympian in the 50 meter
freestyle.
The group made lasting friendships and many
of the Israeli kids who hosted the ISE participants came to the United
States in April 2001 and were hosted by the families of many of the 2000 ISE
swimmers.
