H.R. No. 1216

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Since opening in Cedar Park in 2007, Nitro Swimming
	has become a highly respected swimming program, and it was recently
	recognized as a 2013 Gold Medal Club by USA Swimming; and
	WHEREAS, This prestigious accolade is part of the Club
	Excellence Program, which honors those training centers that
	produce elite age-group swimmers; teams are ranked on a point
	system based on athlete performance, and Nitro placed seventh in
	the nation in total points and was one of just 23 centers to attain
	gold medal status; and
	WHEREAS, Guided by owner Mike Koleber and his wife, Tracy,
	Nitro Swimming added a second location in Bee Cave in 2011; the
	business has taught thousands of children in Central Texas to swim,
	and its dedicated coaching staff, which includes several former
	Olympians, has excelled in helping young athletes to realize their
	full potential; and
	WHEREAS, Nitro Swimming has quickly developed into one of the
	top clubs in the Lone Star State, and since 2010 it has captured
	first place three times in short-course events and two times in
	long-course events at the Texas Age Group Swimming Championships;
	moreover, 25 swimmers who have trained with Nitro are currently
	student-athletes racing at the collegiate level; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. and Ms. Koleber also give back to the community
	by making the Nitro facilities available free of charge to the Boy
	Scouts and Girl Scouts for swimming certification tests and to
	first responders for conducting deep-water rescue exercises; and
	WHEREAS, The success of the Nitro Swimming athletes reflects
	the exceptional work being carried out at the company's swim
	centers, and all those associated with the club may reflect with
	pride on their accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Nitro Swimming on being designated
	a 2013 Gold Medal Club by USA Swimming and extend to its athletes,
	coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Nitro Swimming as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
