One of the virtues (of many) of masters swimming is that we all celebrate a birthday on Jan 1st, at least for LCM, SCM. Which means that I am now 55, except in yards, which PNA obviously calculates in deciding when to bid for Nats, so I won't attend in Federal way 'cause besides being measured in 'yards', I will still be 54, so pfui! Hugh...despite the manifest charms of Federal Way (wheeze), I won't be there for SC Nats.
Who else ages up this year and what age group do you intend to eviscerate?

I also want to wish everyone a happy birthday if you are moving up in age groups. I guess I am the Lone Ranger here because I no longer get to compete in Masters since we moved to Roatan. But I do have very fond memories of aging up to get rid of Laura Val for 4 years!!
I swim open water only now, but never enter into actual open water swim races because there are none here. I always swim on a triathlon relay team (me,swim, then a biker and runner). So because of this, I get thrown into the overall age groupers and I am standing there waiting for the gun with the number 58 written on my leg standing right beside a 23 year old. But I usually do quite well as a matter of fact, even given my ancient body.
