It’s the dreaded time of year at our pool – time for the annual 1650 free. This is a timed, 1650-yard freestyle swim, which is approximately 1 mile.

For those of you fortunate enough to live in an urban area where you have access to DSL and all sorts of high-speed and UNLIMITED internet – I so completely [...]
Sometimes it’s just not about the pool. This photo was taken while I was in Maine for business this past summer. I had the opportunity to swim with a few of the Maine Masters Swimmers at the Penobscot Bay (PenBay) YMCA.

Taken at the Pacific Masters Short Course Meters Championships last weekend, Heather Farm Park… I wonder if they’re married?
