LCM Championship Wrap Up
Congratulations to all those who competed in our July 8, 13, 14, 15 LCM Championships!  
 
The weather was terrific and there were some great swims. Nine USMS records were broken and there were over 30 new PacMasters records! Team standings and all event results are posted on this website. Congratulations to USF, DAM, MAM, and SRM for winning, respectively, the Large, Medium+, Medium and Small team divisions. The meet was hosted by Pacific Masters, which means it involved all of us. Many thanks to those who helped make this meed run smoothly.

Editor's Note
Keep up the good work! 

There are only a few pool meets left this year. Now is a good time to get the bugs out of your stroke, work on your turns, and build up your strength so that you will be ready for next year's season. See you at the pool!
