Tomorrow through Sunday I will be at the Tonawanda Aquatic and Fitness Center for our first long course swim meet of the season. I have a big group of kids representing my group within the Stingrays Swim Club and we should be represented well.

Tomorrow night is all the big distance stuff including the 200's (IM and Freestyle), 800 Free, 400 IM and 1500 Free. For the 1500 they will swim two to a lane otherwise we would be there until 4 AM.

This really is my favorite season of the swimming year, shortcourse is all indoors and you feel like you never see the light of day, long course is beautiful out, you have a few ourdoor meets and its a time to hang out with the swimming community and enjoy the best of the sport. It is also the time of year we swim the sport it is meant to be swum. in the big 50 meter, olympic size pools.

These are double what you would see in most of your typical high school pools and are the most challenging for novice kids getting it for the first time.

Stay tuned and I will have some updates throughout the weekend.
