If you are interested in going to Greensboro for the 2021 USMS SC Nationals, please let me know as soon as possible because the entry deadline is coming up fast - June 21! Since we have not been to any recent meets, we are able to use times up to 3 years ago, as well as timed swims performed in practice.

Did you get a chance to see any of the Wave 1 Olympic Trials races last week? It can be really helpful for your own swimming to watch the top swimmers in the country race. Wave 2’s competitions, which will begin airing on TV this Sunday, the 13th, will determine who qualifies for the USA Olympic team! Be sure to either watch these exciting events via Live Streaming, NBC broadcasts, or tape them for later viewing; you will not want to miss them. Here is the broadcast schedule for the US Olympic Team Trials for Swimming (Wave 2).

Full meet information is now available! It is important to note that the Order of Events and format are a bit different than usual due to COVID restrictions. You can check out the National Qualifying Times, but remember that you can still enter 3 individual events plus relays without having any qualifying times! If you are interested in going, please let me know, so that I make sure we have enough hotel rooms. All teammates are welcome and encouraged to participate!

A fun time was had by all who attended our goodbye gathering for Coach Christina at Tailgate Brewery last Sunday. If you did not get a chance to sign the team card, see Coach Chris, as we plan to send it along with our team gift (two pint beer glasses with our masters’ team logos on them!) when it arrives. See pics below of the gathering, as well as of Christina’s last practice on Monday.
