Welcome to the beginning of the short course swim season!
Each year, ACAC honors the memory of a remarkable young athlete whose spirit continues to inspire our team and community.
Timothy Ryan Jenks swam for ACAC from age 8 until his untimely death in a cycling accident shortly before his 14th birthday in the summer of 2014. Tim (or simply “T” to many of his friends) embodied many of the values of ACAC. The beginning of his swim career was marked by a slow and gawky stroke and many attempts before swimming a legal breaststroke race. But Tim was Brave, Adaptable, and Persistent, to say nothing of Intense and Curious. Over time, he developed into a good distance freestyler and at one time held the club record for the 1500 free for 11-12 boys. He swam open water zones and was developing into a good triathlete and endurance athlete. But what Tim may best be remembered for is the way he challenged, rooted for, and loved his teammates, especially his twin sister. He could joke and tease as much as anyone, but when it came to doing the work, Tim was always there and could be counted on to push others to do the same. By naming this meet for Tim, we remember a teammate and a friend and a student athlete of the sport. A young man that just loved people and our day to day in the activities we do together as a community.
