                       Tuesday, November 13, 2018

  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor coach Kathleen 
Prindle, who was inducted to the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame on 
November 3, 2018. Prindle was among those honored during the annual 
meeting of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame held in Plains, PA.
  Prindle has excelled in the sport of swimming as both an athlete and 
coach. In 2011, she founded Performance Aquatics, a world-class, elite 
swim club for senior (ages 13+) athletes. Her unique training and 
business models have been adopted nationally. She has been instrumental 
in training swimming Olympians and Olympic hopefuls, both domestic and 
international athletes. She has trained swimmers to compete at the U.S. 
Olympic Trials, and prepared athletes to compete at the Olympic Games 
in Beijing in 2008, and Rio in 2016. She also coaches at the high 
school level at Grandview Preparatory School in Boca Raton, FL. 
Additionally, Prindle founded learn-to-swim programs in Pennsylvania, 
New Jersey, and Florida.
  Prindle also dedicates her time to the sport of swimming by serving 
as the Vice President of the American Swim Coaches Association Board of 
Directors, on the board of the Florida Gold Coast LSC, and on the 
Florida State High School Athletic Association Advisory Board. She was 
previously awarded the American Swim Coaches Association Fellowship in 
2010, and she served on USA Swimming's Senior Development National 
Committee from 2012 to 2016.
  It is an honor to recognize Prindle's impressive coaching 
achievements. It is fitting that she should be inducted as a member of 
the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. I join with the members of the 
Hall of Fame in recognizing Prindle's illustrious career and 
celebrating her successes as a coach.
