Lane 4 - Natalie Coughlin blogs for USA Swimming "Poohstrong. The Charlotte Grand Prix is the sixth of seven stops along the Speedo Grand Prix Series that spans the long course season of the competition year. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to support various charities, but this year I chose a charity that is very close to my heart. The David Andrew 'Pooh' Maddan Foundation was set up in honor of my friend Dave. Although I’ve known Dave since I was about 16 years old, I don’t think I ever called him by his real name. Everyone knew him as 'Pooh.'”
