Five Neptune swimmers had the honor of representing Pacific Swimming in all-star meets at the Western Zone Meet in Gresham, OR and the North American Challenge Cup in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Some of them tell their stories below. Here is the report from Black Group swimmer Heidi Poppe: I had a great time at the North American Challenge Cup. It was really neat representing Pacific swimming because all the competition you’re used to at JO’S was now on your team. My team did everything together as a group: meals, bus...

Neptune Swimmers established 63 new team records (57 individual events plus 6 relays) during this past season (September 1, 2007- August 30, 2008).

Record setters include swimmers that went on to swim at NCAA’s and win medals in international competitions (like the Pan American Games and Olympic Games). This year, 11 records from the 90’s were...

Before going to the evening finals, Maya and her family went to a reception for the swimmers and families that were a part of the National Junior Team trip to Australia this past January. It was nice to meet the parents of some of the swimmers and hear about their plans. Most of the boys on the team (who were usually 2 years older than the girls) are getting...

We would like to invite our extended family (Neptune swimming) to enjoy this experience with us! Here are a few details: Cary was in labor for 43 hours. We got turned away at the hospital 2 times. 3rd time was the charm. I was the typical coach through out the entire thing (stop watch, clip board...

Just a reminder that the times swam at the Racing Series events DO NOT count for USA swimming times. So if a time standard is achieved it will not qualify athlete for high level...
