In case you haven't heard, Dylan Lynn, son of Swim Tulsa coach (and former Tulsa Masters coach), David Lynn, died Sunday March 25. Apparently it was an accident in the bathroom in which he slipped, fell, and hit his head. I don't know any more than that. Services for Dylan will be Thursday March 29, 10 am, at Floral Haven in Broken Arrow. I will be attending the service.
Please go to the Swim Tulsa website for pictures of Dylan (on the home page, www.swimtulsa.org) and a link to his Univ of Missouri bio, http://www.swimtulsa.org/NewsShow.jsp?&id=167177&team=osst.
I received an email from Corrine Dolan, the president of the Swim Tulsa parents group. She said that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your favorite charity in Dylan's name. I'd like to make a suggestion that Tulsa Masters Swim Club make a donation to the USA Swimming Foundation for the 'SAVING LIVES THROUGH MAKE A SPLASH' program. The link below should take you to information regarding the program.

I will send a donation from the club account. Please feel free to make an additional donation directly to USA Swimming if you choose. I think that will be easier than me trying to collect money.
Please pass this email to anyone else you think might want to know this news. Thanks for your time.

We will miss him so much. He was a very talented and gifted soul. His kindness and compassion towards us all was refreshing and needed. "For such a time as this..." Dylan was a real blessing from heaven. Our memories of him are priceless. God loves Dylan and always will. Our prayers and support are with his family. God bless you all!
