Duane Ring
- Native New Orleanian.
First graduating class of Riverdale High. B.S. in
Medical Technology from Loyola University. Worked
in microbiology labs at Touro and Mercy Hospitals
for 5 years prior to moving to Houma where husband
Mike established his dental practice.
Two sons, both swimmers.
Patrick trained Olympic Pentathlon and Edmund was an
NCAA All American for LSU swimming.
As
charter members of what is now the Bayou Barracudas,
Pat and Eddie began their age group swimming careers
in 1984 with Frank at the YMCA. I started doing
“parent” things such as team paper work and became
part of the masters swim team. A friend, who was
also a masters swimmer, and I began helping on the
deck with the numerous 8 & unders. From there I
began working on all of my aquatic and coaching
certifications, and under Frank’s tutelage learned
the coaching and teaching skills that have enabled
me to be a part of our successful programs.
As the head coach of the Vandebilt Catholic High
swim team the boys’ team has had four consecutive
state titles and the girls’ team has had two state
titles. The credit for those titles is of course
shared with Frank. |
