:applaud::applaud::applaud:A round of applause goes to Conner Bailey :bow: and Auburn Masters, once again, for running a fantastic two-day swim meet! This was the third Auburn Masters SCY Invitational I have competed in and it always ranks as my favorite meet of the year. The heat sheets include a start time for each event and the meet ALWAYS runs either early or on time. The water temperature is always perfect, the air quality is always perfect, and the entire staff and group of volunteers always do a fabulous job. THANK YOU for an enjoyable weekend!
Now, for a special shout out to my Forumite buddies who had a fabulous meet:
1. pmccoy- Won high points in his age group and put some fabulous times on the clock in his races.
2. ekw- Ditto, in her age group.
3. Swimosaur- Brute squad all the way! Swim gets the award for the most difficult race line-up (and relays!) for the meet. And, some amazing times, as well!
4. Celestial- You slaughtered me in our races; great job!
5. PatrickJM- You always amaze me. Great swims today!
Jethro, it was great to finally meet you! I don't know how you did in your races; I'll catch the results tomorrow.
Finally, a big :smooch: to Swimosaur, PatrickJM, and non-Forumite Jennifer Almand, for swimming two relays with me and beating out our competition for 1st Place! Swimming with you three was the highlight of my meet. :wiggle:Here are two (grainy :badday: ) photos for now; additional photos and videos will be e-mailed to y'all soon (I have a crazy couple of days ahead...).

Did anybody try out the Endless Pool? :banana: It was awesome to be able to watch my stroke while swimming, rather than just on a video. They had a mirror on the bottom of the pool, one tilted so you could watch your stroke from a more head-on position, and one mounted up above for backstroke. The immediate feedback on my hand placement was very helpful; I was reaching a little too far on backstroke with my right arm, so I corrected to the 1-2:00 position.
I sure wish I could afford to have one of these at home! :agree:
