Bryan Walsh Bateman 1977-2009

On December 7, 2009, the Hornet Swim Club sustained the tragic loss of our Head Coach - Bryan "Beanie" Bateman. Bryan‘s smile, his easy-going way and his love for swimming and the Hornets will never be forgotten. Bryan swam competitively for over 17 years. He swam for 4 of those years at Hinsdale Central High School. Retired from swimming in 2001, Bryan was an 11 time state champion, 7 time state record holder, and 2 time 20 and Under National Champion with one 20 and Under national record.
