P.S. Here is a short message from Matt Webber, Southeastern Swimming General Chair

Swimming in the United States is built upon the backs of many tireless volunteers.  The best and brightest in our sport serve as volunteers at the local, regional, national, and international levels.  Their work is the engine behind the local swim meet all the way to the Olympic Team!  We ask that you consider becoming part of the great volunteer group that USA Swimming enjoys by volunteering to serve at the LSC level.  Southeastern Swimming is a great vehicle in which to affect the sport that all of us care so much about.  Please look over the list of open board positions, and decide if one of these is an area where you think you could serve.  Thank you in advance for helping make our sport better and your service to all of the fine athletes in our LSC!          Thank you, Matt Webber
