Lewiston was a great meet! Despite the cold and wind on Saturday, the kids swam great in the first long course meet of the season. They continued to swim even better on Sunday when the clouds blew out and the weather warmed up. You never quite know what to expect the first time you swim in a 50-meter pool each season, both when it comes to the weather and performances, but we swam fast and had fun doing it in traditional Waves fashion! This summer is shaping up to be...

Friday May 10th in the afternoon I left for Indianapolis for the Short Course Masters National Championships. In the last couple of years Dan Sheahan also participated but this year he's been mostly at the east coast and couldn't make it this weekend. So, it would be only me representing the Spokane Waves Masters. I arrived around 10 pm or so at the hotel which, with a three hour time zone difference, was just early evening Spokane time. This caused the first problem: getting to sleep. Based on this I...

 The Triple Pentathlon is one of the most grueling and time intensive events on our calendar.  To compete in it, you must swim a distance of all 4 strokes, and the Medley, a combination of all 4 strokes.  The 5 races add your cumulative time and ranks you against all the other kids racing the events.  We were outstanding, posting over 450 best times, 4 team records and dozens of kids placing in the top 10 for their age.  Great work everyone, and thanks to all the overworked volunteers who...
