Congratulations U.S. Masters Swimmers

Congratulations to all U.S. Masters Swimmers who competed in the Pacific Masters Long Course Championships at Chabot College Swim Complex in the San Francisco Bay Area this past weekend.  As far as I can tell, there were 44 masters swim clubs represented.  Congratulations to the University of San Francisco Masters.  After ‘event 44’ they were well ahead of the pack with 1801 points.  A special shout out to the El Camino YMCA Masters, Club Hot Tub, and the Truckee Tahoe Aquatics Masters – it seems as though these teams may have had only one or two people there ‘representing’.

 Here's a couple more images taken on Saturday...

I was there to support my Tuolumne County Aquatics Masters (TCAM) teammates and to snap a few images.

Folks are very encouraging, ...
