Ciara Franke Ciara Franke can always be found at the pool, but not just because her father Randy runs Coggan Pool; it's Ciara's love of the water. As this Spring/Summer Longcourse Season hit, Ciara seemed to be working harder and swimming faster! She has not only improved her times in meets throughout this season; but improved in leaps & bounds at practice, as well. Ciara can most often be found giggling and being silly with her teammates and friends on the pool deck. Currently this summer, Ciara is participating in Jr. Guards while still attending her usual swim team practices at night. Come this Fall, she may be a force to reckon with after all her hard summer training. Keep up the good work Ciara, while still just being a kid and enjoying life to the fullest!
