People in our LMSC may know about USMS Features, but what is perhaps not as widely known is that the author of many of them — as well as many of the articles in SWIMMER magazine — is VMST member Laura Jones.
Laura Jones has written a nice feature article on the USMS website that describes what sounds like a great vacation built around two open water championships.
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.
