While I did not have the pleasure of being coached by Lan, his legacy lives on in Eric, his son, who is one of the kindest, most caring people I know. His strength reflects the immense legacy that Lan left behind, which would be a great benefit to the community.

Such a worthy recipient of this honor. I cannot imagine anyone who positively impacted aquatics more in the High Country than Lan.

I am grateful for Lan inspiring many in the pool and in the classroom. I still swim regularly thanks to the skills he instilled many years ago. Honoring his name on the new aquatic center would be fitting.

Lan would even take time while on vacation giving my kids swimming and diving lessons.
