Weekly Updates
USA Swimming will air a free webcast of the finals each night from the ConocoPhillips USA Swimming National Championships, July 31-Aug. 4, in Indianapolis. Finals begin each night at 6 p.m. ET. Tune in at usaswimming.org.
Last day for the Blossom Masters, for either the morning or noon group, will be Thursday, August 2.
Lake swim set for next Saturday, Aug 4, we’re leaving the Boerne Lake boat ramp at 8:00 a.m.
All the LCM pools in SA are either being drained as we speak, or will not convert the pool back over to long course again this summer. There are a few of you who still had hoped to get your 5 K swim in. The Dallas Masters group is hosting 5 and 10 K swims over 2 days. Check this out for an option to swim to complete your 2007 postal challenge. Click here: http://www.damswim.com/docs/2007_2k5k10k_entry.pdf
Women’s water polo will be starting up again. It is open to any ladies, of any age/ability, to join us on Sunday mornings. The next 4 weeks will be at the 1604 pool, just East of Bandera. Practice is from 8:30-10:30 a.m. We plan to have 2 groups in the water: a developmental group and a more advanced group. Come on out and give it a try!
Incarnate Word evening workouts will continue through the month of August, until Thursday the 30th.
I assume that everyone is now set with rides and hotels for Nationals. I do have a request for one guy to crash on someone’s sofa for a night. His family will not be coming out the entire time. Ronda is looking for a ride back on Sunday. Please bring a chair to sit on and a small cooler for drinks/snacks. We will grab a section of the pool that has shade, plus some pop up canopies but it is very hot and humid, so some people may opt to hide in the shade of the indoor warm-up pool.
There are 3 relays set for Sunday at the end of the individual events. If you have to start off and get on the road and will not be able to stay, let me know. I will be putting close to 36 relays together for the meet, so need to plan ahead of time. It will be hard to sub for swimmers at the last minute because LCM relays are done by adding up each teammate’s age. (Ex: a 45 yr old cannot sub for a 63 yr old.)
I never had a chance to finish with the older age group’s National Senior Games swim report.

Catch ya’ in the water,
Susan
