		<description><![CDATA[Who Are U.S. Masters Swimmers? Trust Me, We&#8217;re Not All Here for the Medals and Ribbons.
	We don&#8217;t all look good in bathing suits. We can&#8217;t all do flip turns. We&#8217;re not all entirely graceful diving off the starting blocks. In fact, many U.S. Masters Swimming members never compete in swim meets. The one thing we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve established I&#8217;ve had some annoying health &#8216;issues&#8217; and spent more time on a pool deck than normal this past year. Consequently, I took a lot of photos at USMS swim meets, practices, open swims, etc. In one of my far-too-frequent philanthropic moods, I offered to create a calendar for Tuolumne County Aquatics Masters (TCAM).

She said I &#8220;looked athletic and had a glow&#8221; about me. My hair was dry by the time I stopped in the market after my Masters swimming workout, so that couldn&#8217;t have tipped her off.

		<description><![CDATA[Between a massive project with an impending deadline and an extremely sore shoulder, I&#8217;ve been to the pool to swim exactly once in 10 days. (Not to mention the neglect I&#8217;ve shown my blog!) That I even considered attending a workout is due in large part to a wonderful chiropractor in Sausalito, California &#8211; Dr. [...]]]></description>

One of the protesters commented, &#34;Our council decided to ignore the views of 90 per cent of people and close our swimming pool. We think they want to demolish it straight [...]]]></description>

Seriously, I love Twitter. For one, it&#8217;s easy. It&#8217;s not like programming a VCR. (Those still exist, right?) Hanging in Twitter is a bit like being at a really cool party and eavesdropping on interesting conversations, or joining in.&#160; It&#8217;s easy to move [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the opportunity a couple weeks ago to swim with the U.S. Masters Swimmers at the Penobscot (Pen-Bay) YMCA in Rockport, Maine. I believe they refer to themselves as the Maine Masters Swim Club, though I&#8217;m not entirely sure. The group meets only twice a week for 1&#189; hours each session. Maybe that&#8217;s why [...]]]></description>
