Masters of South Texas

It’s not that often that a swimming event makes the national news. Must be a slow day. Pellegrini sets 400 freestyle record - Yahoo! News

There will be a Master’s Swim Meet at the Nitro Swim Center on Saturday, March 1st at 12:30 pm (warmup at 11:30).  Go here for info and application.  The Nitro swim center is indoors and opened this past summer in Cedar Park (near the intersection of Parmer Lane and 1431).  The competition pool is 25yds by 50 meters with 23 lanes for short course - so lots of warmup/cool down space even during the meet.

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!
