Craig Vetor '10

I wake up at 4:00am to start work lifeguarding at the Baxter YMCA in Greenwood, Indiana by 4:45am. Older people tend to get up and swim that early in the morning! I attract quite a bit of attention with the ladies as I sit (sometimes stand) in my lifeguard station. It’s been a tough summer. In addition to working at the Y, I also landscape for my dad. For the most part this entails me holding a hose for hours out in the sun to water plants, but I don’t let it bother me! And I can put my Zune to good use. I’m the most tanned that I’ve ever been, (though you may not notice). After landscaping, it’s time for swim practice!

My older brother, Ryan, got married July 28th and I was the best man. This picture shows his reaction during my toast to him and his wife at the wedding reception. The other one I am posing with my not-so-willing sister.

I attended the Buck Cherry, Papa Roach and Hinder concert at White River Park in downtown Indy. I also attended the Chris Daughtry, Staind and Nickelback concert at Verizon in Noblesville, Indiana. Two concerts in three days! I thought all the bands played well, though Papa Roach was the show stealer at the first concert.

I’ve been keeping in touch with many of my fellow Wabash swimmers, including going to the swimmer get-togethers, open-houses of the freshmen, swim meets, and just some here and there phone calls. I spent the 4th of July at a party with the Petro's (and ate all their food). In this picture I was showing my skills of Amish Pool.

I’ve heard that some of you are dieting, but I can’t say that I’m doing that. I go to Hooter’s frequently and catch the ‘All You Can Eat Wings’ on Wednesday’s, as well as the always appreciated buffet. I guess you could call my diet the “SeeFood Diet”...I see food and eat it. Don’t get me wrong though, I burn it off. I’ll be ready for the 2007 Wabash season! Though club season has come to a close I still swim everyday doing the practices I can pull up on the Wabash website. Also, I’m hitting the dryland.

I guess I had a good summer. There was a lot of hard work, waking up at 4am and ‘scaping the land like a Titan. I look forward to returning to Wabash to begin a new chapter in Wabash swimming with Coach Weitz.
