Eric Wunderlich
Eric
Wunderlich enjoyed competing in the 1996 Olympic Games in his hometown
of Atlanta, where he placed seventh in the 200m breaststroke. In .95,
Eric was awarded Gold in the 100m at the 1995 Pan Pacific Championships
and, in .94, Silver in the 200m at the World Championships. Like fellow SAA
Olympian Carlton Bruner above, Eric began his swimming career as a
Dynamo. While attending the University of MI, he just missed clinching a
spot on the .92 Barcelona Olympic Team. It was at this time that Coach
Bob Bowman [of current Michael Phelps' fame!] came calling, luring him
to CA for concentrated training in anticipation of the .96 Games. Now
happily anchored in CO with his wife and two children, Eric is employed
as the general manager of Alumicolor. He has been active with Swim Across America, first in Boston and then Chicago, for four years.
