Here's a nice writeup on the masters team in Beaufort, SC: www.beaufortgazette.com/.../5955112p-5242196c.html
I imagine Skip Thompson will remember Coach Fetters.
Anyway, I don't see too many write-ups about masters swimming in the paper, or adult sports in general, so this is good to see!

What I don't get is, the coach is supposed to be totally focused on competitive results, and the swimmers are supposed to train really hard, yet it says:
"JoAnn Chapman, 62, perhaps the most accomplished Masters swimmer on the team with nine state records entering the meet, sets her 10th with a 7-minute, 45.59-second mark in the 400 freestyle."
7:45 for 400 free?! There's a 64 year old woman at my club who swam 6:18 (LCM) last month.
So the coach is hardly working wonders with his team of committed competitive Masters swimmers.
