Greetings Swimmers!
As you start to make summer plans, please save the date for the NE Long Course Meters Championship to be held again in Middlebury, Vt. (June 25-27, 2010)
A few reasons to get excited about next year’s meet…
1) Bill Boomer, Olympic coach and technique guru will offer a two-day Master’s clinic on Thursday and Friday (June 24-25) as well as on-deck consultation on Saturday (June 26). See the attached flyer. Boomer has worked with Dara Torres, Jenny Thompson and countless other elite swimmers during his long career. Here is a link to an interesting article about his impact on the sport: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3871/is_200007/ai_n8918915/
2) Rowdy Gaines will be our guest speaker at the Saturday Social (to be held at the Middlebury Inn this year).
3) The Saturday Social will also be the setting for the 1st Annual New England Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
More info on clinic registration, the meet and other exciting events will follow soon… In the meantime, be sure to reserve your lodging. We have again blocked rooms at the Courtyard Marriott (802-388-7600) and The Middlebury Inn (1-800-842-4666). Just mention the “NE Masters Swim Meet” to get the discount.

The 1st Annual Wachusett Storm OW swim was a huge success and the organizers would like to thank everyone who made it out. Naturally, in keeping with the spirit of the name of the race and club, it was a heck of a day but everyone had a great time!
