Updates... ------------- In addition to the pool competition, there will also be an area in the Qwest Center called the "Aqua Zone." There will be vendors there, along with opportunities to get autographs from various swimmers. On July 4th, USMS will be the Presenting Sponsor for Rowdy Gaines in the Aqua Zone. All USMS swimmers attending the Trials on July 4th are invited to attend Rowdy's presentation and encouraged to serve as Masters Swimming ambassadors sharing their enthusiasm for Masters Swimming to those in attendance. --------------- There will possibly be a "behind-the-scenes" tour for Masters swimmers in attendance. I don't know any more than this right now. If I find out more information I will send it to those on my spreadsheet. --------------- Rumor has it that Rowdy Gaines and Mel Stewart may attend some of the morning Masters workouts, as time permits... --------------- Omaha Masters swimmer Molly Romero owns a restaurant called "Mark's Bistro", which is two miles west of the Qwest Center. Molly invites all Masters swimmers to stop by. Make sure you introduce yourself to Molly! Anna Lea

OK, I already have at least 12 names. Keep them coming. I will put them all into a spreadsheet: name, e-mail, cell phone, and hotel. I just thought of adding hotels - people who are staying near each other might want to carpool to/from the Qwest Center (because I'm sure they'll charge each day for parking) or to/from swim workouts in the mornings. Eventually I'll distribute the spreadsheet to all who are on it. Anna Lea
