A friend Remembered

It is with great sadness this year that the swimming and water polo community learned of the passing of Monta Vista Head Swimming Coach Ron Freeman. Ron was also the Boys Head Water Polo Coach. For 30 years Ron was an instrumental part of Aquatics at Monta Vista High School. Along with the many memories that the students and athletes at Monta Vista High School will have of their beloved coach, Ron also brought to existence their new swimming pool

Ron was a dedicated and passionate coach and teacher, he cared deeply for his students and athletes and was always involved in the life of the school. As a head coach in the league for 15 years, Coach Danny Dye from Palo Alto will always remember Ron as a great man who had a true calling to work with young people. As coaches emailed each other and talked on the phone at the shock of Ron's passing, all of them shared the same thoughts of Ron's impact on our sport and league.

He while this year will be different without Coach Freeman on the pool deck, his memory and impact will be felt for years to come. God Bless and God Speed coach Freeman!!!
