His relationship with Swimming New Zealand had been rocky since the 1990s, and perhaps they were relieved about the years he spent in America and the Middle East. Scheduled to swim the 50 butterfly at the New Zealand championships the day after Dad died, anyone would have forgiven Eyad for not being up to the task. However, he took me swimming so many times at Moana pool in Dunedin that by the time he handed me over to Bill Corrigal at the physiotherapy pool in the middle of town, I could swim confidently. I was a water baby of the truest kind: I do not remember not being able to swim. This feature has replaced most of the old halogen and incandescent light fixtures, both in the water and around your swimming pool, for two reasons: First, they are much more energy-efficient, using only a tiny fraction of the electricity of the old-style lights. What I find most appealing is that some popular derivative protocols are yet inefficient in some ways, which means there is a lot of room for new solutions to come along. This means you get more from seasons like spring and fall and more time with your summer nights.

Get easy access to shopping malls that are in surrounding area, while coming back to your home after dropping your kids at the neighborhood school; don't miss the opportunity to rejuvenate yourself in the spa with a relaxing massage. Tahiti is nearly two islands - in fact there are even two names Tahiti Nui (Big Tahiti) and Tahiti Iti (Little Tahiti), but they are naturally joined together. However, the two highlights of my life were my relationship with my father who, by then, was my coach, and my only teammate Bekki. After I left for America, Bekki found dealing with the abuse and intensification of attention on her in my absence too tough to bear. In the wake of my Newsroom article from a year ago, Bekki and I had a number of frank conversations about her treatment in Hawke’s Bay and I felt rather terrible about the whole thing. For homes near the Chesapeake Bay or the Elizabeth River, relaxing on the patio in wrought iron furniture is a popular pastime. Once people get in, we are focused. We looked at basically all of the MOSs and said, do we have to have this many people in these particular types of units?

They may have falsely accused her of misbehaviour and profanity, just as they did me, but Dad’s influence lives on in her life, popular pool table twenty years later. He and Dad had a wonderful time setting up the website and its rudimentary analytics package, watching the work IP addresses of Dad’s detractors appear as daily readers. She was one of the hardest workers I ever knew in a pool, wholly dedicated to the sport and to Dad’s programme, and yet she never got to reap the rewards some of us do: the international trips, the scholarships, the national accolades. She already knew I was in New Zealand. When Mum and I drove over the Auckland Harbour Bridge after a phone call from the hospital, telling us that things had taken a marked turn for the worse, I realised that in the afternoon sun, I could see the whitewashed tower block of the hospital from the road, and I knew. A plan was born to bring Eyad to New Zealand as a refugee, and Eyad arrived in Auckland in 2018. In 2022, he travelled to the Mare Nostrum series in Europe and then to the World Swimming Championships in Budapest, touring with the New Zealand swimmers and competing for the Fina refugee team.

Ozzie broke a world masters record in the 100 butterfly whilst swimming with Dad, and their formidable relay team took down South Florida’s best during his time there too. The height of his disdain was saved for people who were letting the sport down in ways that hurt swimmers. Dad was unwavering about his support for those in whom he believed, but he was equally critical and often disappointed in those he felt were letting themselves or the sport down. Dad wasn’t doing too badly incorporating his translations onto the whiteboard at the pool until it came to the concept of "Distance Per Stroke". Pool and snooker found their way on many computer platforms of the past. Alabama swimmers have been so highly decorated in the past couple of years, I struggle to keep up with their achievements.
