Had a great time at SCY Nat's!

Thanks to everyone involved in the Ft. Lauderdale Nationals. I had a great time and met some exceptional people. I especially want to thank Doug Malcolm for the competition in the adjacent lane. It looks like (from USMS data) you have not competed for quite a while and had a great meet! I had not competed for over 20 years when I entered the 2001 Nat's at Santa Clara and have done pretty well for the past few years. Doug exemplifies what our sport should be all about; a true competitor who brings out the best in someone like me who may not have accomplished the standards acheived in Ft. Lauderdale without someone like him next to me. I never got a chance to thank you so I am doing so now. Keep up the good work! I would also like to congradulate John Blank for being the first male competitor over 45 to break one minute in the 100 yard breaststroke; a great accomplishment! I have never broken a minute in that event and am full of envy. Lee Rider

  • If group point totals are to be kept, how about an association competition based on LMSC? Pacific might go for that. Or how about Bay Area Aquatic Masters? Either one could/would be very large. Personally, I really don't care about overall placement team wise although we had 5 guys and ended up 19th in the Men's Div and 37th overall. I doubt we'd have made top ten in small - maybe. As arbitrary as it may be selecting the cut-off numbers, small, medium and large divisions seemed to make more sense but whatever.
