- Latest Meet Results
- Mark your Calendars: Dates Set for Open Water Swims
- The Jack King One Mile Ocean Swim will be held June 26 in Virginia Beach.
- The Chris Greene Lake 1- and 2-mile cable swims will be held July 9 in Charlottesville.
- Both swims are hosted by VMST at family-friendly venues. Entry information will be posted soon.
- Getting Out of Bed for Workout
- An article by Ali Hall suggests an interesting motivational strategy: asking yourself “will I?” rather than the affirmative “I will!” favored by self-help gurus. Setting challenging but reasonable goals can help: you might want to consider the Go the Distance program.
- USMS 5K Open Water National Championship
- Are you up for a trip to Coney Island in the summer? The USMS 5K Open Water National Championship will be held August 6. Online and paper entries are available.
- Yoga for Swimmers
- Does yoga offer something special to swimmers to help correct the infamous “swimmer’s slouch” and other issues relating to inflexibility and muscle imbalance? Barbara Won certainly thinks so.
- SwimFest 2011 Registration Now Online
- Registration for SwimFest 2011 (May 20-22 in Atlanta) is now live! Swimmers and coaches, join us for a weekend of interactive clinics and instruction in a friendly, non-competitive environment. Space is limited, so don't delay.
- Improved “Places to Swim”
- Places to Swim is now geocoded: that means you can enter the desired zip code and a Google Map of all the nearby places to swim will appear. Pretty nifty.
- Ransom Award Call for Nominations
- First Edition of LMSC Coaches Newsletter
- Jay Peluso, LMSC Coaches Committee chair, has put out the first edition of the LMSC Coaches Newsletter. Primarily aimed at masters coaches, it will be published on a quarterly basis.
