1 Started Masters 26 years ago. I remember my first meet at the Briarwood Pool in Decatur. THat was before Dynamo opened! I had no goggles and could barely see after the meet!
2) I started when I was 32 years old. Lisa Watson gave my son his first "baby" swimming lesson and encouraged me to try a Masters Meet!
3) I swam age group at a YMCA in New Rochelle for 6 years. I swam 2 years at a junior college, but when I transfered to Denver I quit because I wanted to ski. Love those mountains in Colorado!
4) I started competitive swimming when I was about 11.
5) My best events were 200 fly, 200 ***, 800/1000 and 1650 free.
6) My worst is any backstroke.. However due to a ski injury I can not compete 200 ***, so I am trying to improve my backstroke and skiing!
