Google Rick Curl...he ran Curl swimming in FFX...trained Olympic swimmers

I swam for him at a swim club in the 70s before he started the club. He also ran the pool services like lifeguards and such. It was well known that he was sleeping with 16 year old lifeguards at time. He married a woman who lived around the corner from me, lasted a very short time...unconfirmed rumor was that she caught him.

Later he was caught with an underage girl and paid the parents to keep quiet. He was finally locked up many years later. How many girls because of that culture and because parents will sell their children for hope of success like that. The parents often don't know because the kids are terrified to tell them because it would mean losing their chance....what they view as all their parents want.

It's a sick a world.
