BRUNSWICK, Maine -- 6/24/13 -- Linda Blanton works with a child in the pool during the her annual swimming camp, held at Bowdoin College on Monday. Blanton, together with colleague Don Miskill, has created and led a early summer swimming program which teaches swimming and coaching leadership. By bringing older children into positions of responsibility, she has trained thousands of children to swim. Using older children as trainers, she builds the next generation of swimming coaches and instructors. This year she manages over 200 swimmers and nearly as many volunteers. She is in her fourth generation of coaches whom she's trained. Photo by Roger S. Duncan.
