Kentucky Masters Swimming is the governing body for Masters swimming in the Kentucky LMSC (Local Masters Swimming Committee). We subscribe to the founding principles of United States Masters Swimming: to encourage and promote improved physical fitness and health in adults, to offer adults the opportunity to participate in a lifelong fitness and/or competitive swimming program, to encourage organizations and communities to establish and sponsor Masters swimming programs, and to enhance fellowship and camaraderie among Masters swimmers.

SKY wins One Hour
Postal!
SKY, or should I say the SKY's the limit!!! Go to www.usms.org/longdist/ldnats08/1hrresultsteams.pdf
to find the team results for the One Hour Postal. Swim Kentucky Masters
took the Large Team category with 337,795 yards over Masters of South
Texas and three other teams in the 50-99 swimmer range. In fact, our average
of 3,753 yards per swimmer beat every team in the Extra Large Category
other than UCLA, which compiled 411,035 yards with 108 swimmers. MOST
had the least yardage of the four teams in the Extra Large category and
we beat those other 3 teams on the yardage/swimmer totals.
www.usms.org/longdist/ldnats08/ will get you to individual and relay results. Of note, SKY did win one relay, the Mixed 25+ Relay totaling 19,225 yards with David Kuendig, Jose Manuel Nieto, Carolyn Harris, and Leslie Weeter. None of our other five relays finished worse than 7th.
Great job (and fun) by everyone. Let's have even greater participation the this fall's 3000-6000 event sanctioned by Kentucky Masters and run by Swim Louisville Masters-U of L.

In memory: George Dodge.
Friends
and teammates, I am sorry to say that we have all lost a good friend and
fellow swimmer with the loss of George Dodge. George passed away Thursday
evening, March 27, after a brave struggle with cancer. Not only was he
a longtime member of Swim Louisville Masters (formerly Crescent Hill Masters),
but truly one of the founding fathers of Masters swimming in Kentucky.
He will be missed.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care of
Louisville or American Cancer Society.
