Before there was SWIMMER magazine, there was SWIM-MASTER. Created and published by June Krauser, it was produced from 1971 to 1991.
The USMS History and Archives Committee has been scanning all of the old issues of SWIM-MASTER and they are now posted on usms.org!
You can view them by following these steps:
1) go to usms.org
2) mouse over the red "About USMS" tab
3) select "USMS History"
4) click on the link "Swim-Master newsletter archives"
The direct URL is: www.usms.org/.../swimmaster
Enjoy!
Having started in 1972, I have fond memories of Swim-Master and the early leaders, Ransom Arthur, June Krauser, Bob Beach (saw him last year at Greensboro), Bumpy Jones, etc. I was able to contribute a box of them to the committee, collected by my mother-in-law, Rita Shephard, who began competing at 65 and had twenty+ happy retirement years in Masters Swimming. Going to go right there and check it out.
