Podcast appearances and mentions of roy snyder

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we're diving into a brand new, just-released, uncirculated soundboard recording capturing US Festival rehearsals — and this is HUGE. This is the rehearsal performance before Van Halen took the stage on May 29, 1983… recorded on May 21 in front of a small private audience at A&M Studios on the A&M Soundstage.

Coach Roy Snyder has been at the helm of the Wilson HS swim teams in Reading PA for over 60 years! Our visit with him is like strolling through a most impressive library. Join Bob and me as we are entertained and educated during this fascinating visit. We mentioned two external items in the podcast and promised to list them here. 1-The one-time-only Olympic event that might have put observers to sleep faster than listening to this podcast, the PLUNGE, is covered in great depth and style here: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240720-the-extinct-olympic-sport-that-was-the-dullest-of-all-time 2-One of the most heartwarming Olympic commercials explored a topic we discussed with Roy, that of kids following their passions and finding their joy, and is titled simply, "It's OK." We think it's BETTER than "OK"! https://youtu.be/aJSZSHmMj5Y?si=iu03vLxdeAU9142X Email us at swimtalk.a2b@gmail.com Timeline for this episode: 00:01 – Disclaimer & banter 00:33 – Join ASCA 02:26 – Abbott/Button Special 02:42 – Introducing Roy Snyder 03:17 – Origins of Wilson HS swimming 05:48 – A total program 06:39 – YMCA & HS highlights 08:26 – Depth = Dual Strength 09:40 – Day in the life of a WHS Bulldog 12:00 – One-man band? 14:00 – Aerobic wins 16:03 – Roy's start at Allentown HS 17:46 – Doc Counsilman & George Breen 19:23 – What hasn't changed? 21:05 – Breaststroke turns & finishes 25:58 – AD or AD? 30:33 – Assistant coach Alison Snyder 32:37 – Canadian Butterfly 33:17 – Plunge for Distance 36:03 – A look in the rearview 39:44 – Patience NOW!?!? 40:12 – Kristy Kowal 40:59 – Wrapping it up

Friend of the show and fellow nerd, Roy Snyder, joins episode #014 the Ice Cream Sunday Podcast!

Now in his 52nd season of coaching at Wilson High School, Roy Snyder has had an unparalleled career in sustained excellence. With over 500 wins in dual meets, Snyder has won four state championships, 15 district championships and 28 league championships. The retired health and physical education teacher and athletic director at Wilson also has coached 15 individual state champions. Snyder tells Zeke that "I get more satisfaction from developing a mediocre swimmer into a good swimmer than from developing a naturally gifted swimmer into an outstanding swimmer." Under Snyder, West Lawn has become a swim capital. "We have a comprehensive swim program, teaching swimming, youth group programs, coaching kids for competition," Snyder tells Zeke. He still loves going to the pool every day because he loves working with the kids. He is coaching in his second pool at Wilson, a state-of-the-art facility now in its second season -- a facility that is used heavily by the Wilson community. Swimming is a sport of repetition, but the routine over five decades of coaching never gets old for Snyder. "The kids keep me going, working with the kids," Snyder explains. "Seeing them improve ... taking average or below average kids and making them pretty good. It's all about team. Everybody counts." When Zeke asks Snyder what has changed the most in swimming over his five decades, Snyder responds: "Weight training. Our kids are in the weight room about three times a week."

Roy Snyder tells Zeke how stressing the importance of team has been paramount to the remarkable success of the Wilson High School boys swim team this season and in previous seasons. "It's probably the team approach we have with our coaching staff," Snyder says. "And we have a great feeder program." This year's team has remarkable depth, which has enabled it to overcome the lack of individual superstars. "We have a great dual meet team," Snyder said of his Bulldogs. "This is the type of team I enjoy coaching the most." While Snyder in recent years coaches only the boys team, for many years he coached boys and girls. The legacy of the program's success draws swimmers like a magnet. "We have about 25 to 30 divers and about 200 swimmers," Snyder explains. In an era when many coaches stress focusing on one sport, Snyder says, "I encourage kids to do multiple sports. At Wilson, swimming is a seasonal sport, not year round." When Zeke asks what are the ingredients of a good swimmer, Snyder replies: "There is an ideal physique (length) but desire and motivation are more important. A lot of it has to do with a natural feel for the water and enthusiasm for the sport.
