Lycoming College Men's and Women's Swimming is participating in Ted Mullin's Hour of Power swimming event, and we need your help reaching our team fundraising goal!

The swimming event—held in each team’s home pool—is a one-hour, all-out, leave-it-in-the-pool practice consisting of continuous relays, using any stroke. The relay fosters teamwork through its objective of keeping all lanes on the same lap. The Carleton teams selected this workout as the Hour of Power Relay’s format because it was one of Ted’s favorite practice sets. 

The Carleton College Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving teams originated the Hour of Power on November 7, 2006, in memory of their teammate Ted Mullin who died earlier that fall from sarcoma. After Ted’s death the Carleton College swimmers and divers wanted to do something significant to remember their teammate as well as raise awareness about sarcoma and funds for sarcoma research. The teams created the Hour of Power event and invited other collegiate swimming and diving teams from Minnesota and New England to take part. In the end 12 colleges, one high school and two club teams participated.
