From Coach Chris
Hello, Masters’ Swimmers!
The Tennessee High School State Swimming Championships takes place at Ensworth (1 of 4 locations) this weekend; you can check out the FAST racing live on the website, or volunteer running the timing system all weekend like Doug Robertson and get a front row seat!
One more week to participate in the 2021 TYR Last One Fast One virtual meet!
Do I have any volunteers to plan a team social?
A bit of rain this weekend, but mostly nice weather, then WARM temps next week...it’s almost May! Happy weekend wishes! And, good luck to those of you with High School swimmers participating Saturday and Sunday!
Coach Chris

The National Qualifying Times are also now present on the meet site (although remember that you can still enter 3 individual events plus relays without having any qualifying times!). Full meet information will be available in May. If you are interested, please let me know, so that I make sure we have enough hotel rooms. All teammates are welcome and encouraged to participate.
