From the President - 1/1/08
Happy New Year NEM Swimmers!
2007 culminated with the SCM Championships at BU. There were 560 swimmers entered, the most ever, although attendance dropped sharply following the snowstorm Saturday night. Nevertheless the number of NEM records set equaled last year’s output, with another World Record by Greg Shaw in the 200 FL being the icing on the cake. For full details go to:

January is the traditional One-Hour Swim month, with NEM being the perennial national champion. Let’s do what we must to keep the crown! The entry form is available for download here. Matt Gilson (mgilson@getmetagent.com) and Carol Yunker (yunkerc@yahoo.com) are coordinating it for NEM, in case you have any questions.
The SCY season will feature a heavy slate of meets. Scheduled so far:
Jan. 27 – Adirondock AC at Franklin, MA
Feb. 3 - Phillips Exeter, NH
Feb. 17 – Valentine’s Day Heartbreak Classic in Sudbury, MA
Feb. 24 – MIT, Cambridge, MA
Mar. 16 – Marblehead Sprint Classic, MA
Mar. 27-30 – SCY Championships at Harvard
For details on these meets go to: http://www.swimnem.org/wordpre
In addition, there are a number of meets in Maine (http://www.mainemasters.org/) and some others still in the planning stage.
The USMS LCM Top-Ten for 2007 was finalized, for full results go to: http://www.usms.org/comp/tt/toptenlist.php The number of NEM listings nearly doubled from 2006, thanks, to a large extent, to the participation in the NEM LCM Championships at Middlebury, VT. The meet is again scheduled for late June, so plan on attending it.
