On Friday, October 11th, 2002, Pacific Masters reached a milestone by registering it 10,000th member for the year. Michele Heinz of the Santa Clara Swim Club was the 10,000 registered member this year.
Pacific Masters, the largest regional orgization of United States Mastes Swimming, became the first LMSC to hit the five digit number. Last year Pac Masters was within striking distance of the magic number at year end but finished with 9700 registered swimmers.
Pacific has enjoyed ten years of sustained growth, increasing the membership by about 500 swimmers a year.
