About Robbie
A competitive swimmer from age 6. Robbie learned to swim in Perth Australia. He spent his age group years in Pittsburgh, PA as that kid with the funny accent and funny stroke. Robbie was a High School All American and swam for Colgate during his College years. The accent is gone but the stroke remains
Returning to the water at age 30. Robbie "discovered" open water. He spent many a weekend up and down the East coast racing. Recently he has relocated to the Midwest but still tries to make a NYC Swim event every year. If only to kick Andrew Johnson's butt.
