We did a 6 week set of time trials for older swimmers with multiple other theams in the LSC....4 weeks of 4 events per week, and 2 weeks of "championship" where the number of events per swimmer were limited and teams could treat these time trials a little more seriously. Here are the results of the "Championship" portion. The results were scored, 10 teams participated. CAST ranked 2nd in mens and 3rd in womens ...and 2nd in combined. Mens results Womens results

Notes for CAMP #6 Aug 23 - Sept 5 Tomorrow (Monday) afternoon practices cancelled. The Kroc center is battling trying to accomodate us and a high summer demand for swim lanes.

Normally we take a couple of weeks off in August. Since things have been very different under Covid restrictions, we will just...

This past week the lsc (local swim comittee) started a program to allowteams to time trial during practices and post their reults onlie for comparison.Its an informal way to see where you are in relation to other SI swimmers right now.

Keep in mind that, at Helix pool we are going from a pust(slower) instead...
