Looking at the 4x50 Free and Medley World Records for 120-159 and 160-199. I just don't like seeing teams from Finland, Italy and Canada holding records in those age-groups - so who is coming to Long Beach and interested in swimming a relay ?
Time + Age requirements:
Free for the 120-159 avg = 23.58 (that's fast)
Free for the 160-199 avg = 24.0 + we need the right ages
*** / Back and Fly - records are 1:44 and 1:46 - also very fast, looking for *** around 30-31 (at least) - Back 26-27 and Fly 25+
By the way - these are not yard times - :)
If you are interested reply here or send me a PM + START SWIMMING UNATTACHED until we figure what team we can do this under.
We have 2 people right now - so we need at least 2 more
When I lived in Minnesota, the Minneapolis masters team at the time accounted for about 85 percent of the states masters swimmers. They would have this occasional meet they called Minneapolis vs. The World, which, for practical purposes, was 85 percent of Minnesota swimmers vs. an assortment of ragtag teams from various other hinterlands where most swimmers only learned the sport as a survival mechanism for when you fall in a mudhole and get chased by eelpouts.
Anyhow, St. Paul opened a downtown Y, and our team trained really hard, entered the meet, and with the help of a few Green Giant tenant farmers and the like, managed to beat Minneapolis one year.
Don't give up hope. The World could some day triumph over Pacific Masters, I am pretty sure, barring recruitment, that is, from adjacent land-locked desert states.
