The 2011 short-course yards season (SCY11) ran from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011. All valid swims in SCY meets that were Sanctioned or Recognized in our LMSC will be submitted for Top Ten consideration. LMSC submission previews have been prepared for individual and relay swims.
The deadline for submission is June 30; I plan to submit by June 15. So if you have any questions or corrections, please contact me before then.
What can you do about exercise-induced cramping? Steve Born (Hammer Nutrition) recently posted a nice article about it on the USMS website. Other solutions and causes were also discussed in an interesting thread on the subject on the USMS Discussion Forums.
USMS has just posted another video product review: pull buoys. Honestly, I didn't realize there were so many different designs out there. Check it out!
It can be a little intimidating to transition from the pool to the open water. LMSC member Laura Jones, a staff writer for USMS, has written a great article about how she overcame her nerves and participated in the Great Chesapeake Bay Swim.
