For the past six years, Bobbie Young has coached the Gainesville Parks and Recreation Masters contingent of the Special Olympics of Georgia. In those six years, her team of individuals 23 years old and above, never competed in swimming. That was until they took part in the Special Olympics Georgia State Summer Games over the weekend of May 18-20.
