Lan made a significant impact in Watsuga County, not just with the teenagers he taught and coached at the HS, but throughout the community. He would be so proud to finally see a world-class pool at the Rec Center. Please name it for Lan O'Loughlin!

As Lan’s wife, I witnessed his heartfelt service to others, particularly the youth of our community. Whether as a teacher or as a coach, he instilled character in each student that he worked with, and most of all, belief in themselves. His dream was that the youth of Watauga County would learn how to swim before they graduated from high school. He worked tirelessly for a new pool and recreation center where this could become a reality. His legacy will live on in the naming of the aquatic center in his honor.

Lan's daughter and my daughter have been good friends since elementary school. We also went to church together. Although I never saw him coach, I knew him as a great dad and and positive influence to those around him. No one would have loved the complex more than Lan! Please honor him in this very special way.

Lan was such a special person and put in a lot of energy to get to know the young folks in Watauga County. I'm so lucky to have known him. It is very fitting that the rec center Lan envisioned be named after him.

Lan was an incredible man. I attended the dinner honoring Lan, shortly after he learned he had cancer. Hundreds of former and current students he taught and coached as well as their parents turned out to tell him how much he meant to them. He treated all swimmers regardless of their talent the same. It would be a wise decision to name the pool after him.
