Reg Richardson LCM - 2007

CLICK HERE FOR SWIM MEET PHOTO GALLERY

Congratulations to all the CIM swimmers for the strong showing at the Reg Richardson Memorial LCM on Saturday (July 14). Our participation DOUBLED over last year, with 8 swimmers (enough for 2 relays!), but unfortunately we needed more women (hmmm, somewhere I know I've said that before, lol). Come on ladies, join us next year - WE NEED YOU!

For the most part, the swims were fast and the conditioning was there. Only problem was, we just don't have the experience swimming in 50 meter pools...the pool is deceivingly long for those of us use to 25 yard pools, and it just seems to keep getting longer! I think next year we'll have to take a little field trip over to Los Banos or UCSB a week or two before this meet, and get in a few meter workouts.

What is most important about going to these type of events is getting out there and having fun, while challenging ourselves to do our best. What a great way to spend the day...beautiful weather, good friends, dip in the pool. Thanks to everyone swimming AND coming out and supporting our group...Next year, maybe we can double our numbers again??? I know there are at least another 8 out there ready to take that plunge. Oh, and one more thing...the wheels are in motion for possibly planning a road trip to the Las Vegas swim meet in 2008. STAY TUNED!

On to the results! (I know I'm missing a couple swims, so please let me know and I'll get them posted).
