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 Nation Champion with one 20 and Under national record.
A memorial fund has been created in Bryan's honor. Donations can be sent to:
Bryan Beanie Bateman Memorial Fund
c/o Midwest Bank
500 W Chestnut St
Hinsdale IL 60521
(checks should be made out to “Bryan Beanie Bateman Memorial Fund”)
