Professor/Writer/Swimmer in the News
Most of you probably don't know that one of our members is a noted author (of this book as well as this one), climate scientist, and speaker. He is well-known in his field, but for those who swim with him he is just another member of the team.Robert Balling is a professor at ASU who studies climate science and has published numerous papers on subjects ranging from desertification to urban heat islands to solar activity. He is an expert in his field and is a sought-after speaker. Recently the Arizona Republic wrote an article about Dr. Balling and his views regarding climate change. While it did not mention his swimming, Bob is a regular with Sun Devil Masters and is a popular member of the team. He is the one who rides his bike home after practice!
Bob is another example of the wide range of people and professions represented within Arizona Masters Swimming.
