Masters of South Texas

SCY Zones will be March 28-30 at our own Davis Natatorium. Although this is a big meet, there will be lots of swimmers from our team, so it will be not be too scary and lots of fun competing. For those that have not attended a meet before, women swim followed by the men. Swimmers are placed in groups (heats) according to their ability. Within your heat there may be swimmers 19 or 79, but all of you go down and back in approx. the same amount of time. Don’t worry about being last, there is always someone slower than you out there. Relays are the best part of the meet. Please review the entry form. Please turn in all entries to me, with checks made out to the meet director. I will then submit the team entry via software to make it easier for the meet director to handle all our entries. Last year, we traveled off to Houston and were crowned Champions. We certainly want to defend our title in our own home town!

The Alcatraz Invitational will be held on Sept 20, 2008. The event will take up to 600 swimmers, and has 350 slots already filled. If you wish to join us, please start putting together plans to do so. Thus far, we have 10 people that are registered. This is a 1 1/2 mile swim that can be done in a wetsuit. Last year, we boasted that we had the largest team, the oldest participant, and the overall first place finisher. We all had a great weekend with our spouses and family in San Francisco. It really is a fantastic event!
