I started a blog for strokes critique. We rush in and out of the pool most of the time and rarely have time to look at each other strokes and new swimmers like me would really like some help.

This Saturday SwimMAC Masters practice is cancelled at the Latin facility due to the holiday Hoot.

Are there any swimmers out there who also enjoy Mountain Biking? Please get in touch with me. I try to go 2-4 times a week. Fisher Farm, Lake Norman State Park, and the White Water Center.

This weekend Scott Dempsey participated in the Beach to Battleship Half Ironman.   The weather conditions were terrible (temp started in the low 40's with wind).   Josh and I went with him for moral support.  This is such an incredible race to watch.  It was really inspiring to see all these athletes competing at all ages and sizes. This is not only a physical race, but a mental one too.  I have a lot more respect for people doing the Tri's after this weekend.   I will never forget the pride I… Continue
