First swim meet for LOCOM!

We did it! Team LOCOM made its first splash at the Polansky Sweetheart meet hosted by Loveland Masters at Mountain View Aquatic Center.

Want to add a little purpose and accountability to your swim workouts? Consider swimming in a USMS meet. Here are the nearest meets coming this spring:

— February 22-23, 2025 – Buff Invite at VMAC in Thornton (College club meet open to masters swimmers. Saturday is prelims; Sunday is finals)

— March 2, 2025 – Foothills Masters Spring Splash in Littleton

— March 2, 2025 – Breadbasket Zone Championship in Papillon, NE

— March 8-9, 2025 – Pikes Peak Athletics March Meet in Colorado Springs

— March 22-23, 2025 – New Mexico LMSC Championships in Albuquerque, NM

— April 4-6, 2025 – COMSA Short Course Championship at VMAC in Thornton

While participation in the other meets is TBD, LOCOM will be swimming at the COMSA Championships April 4-6. Don’t be intimidated by the word “championship.” There are no time cuts required for entry. Just ask if you have questions or need a nudge.

Modified location for the “Eves”

The Tuesday noon swim will be held at Centennial Pool (rather than the Rec Center) during the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s. The Rec Center will be overrun with kids during that hour.

Tuesday, December 24th – 12:00 noon at Centennial Pool

Tuesday, December 31st – 12:00 noon at Centennial Pool

By the way — there will be NO SWIM on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. You have my permission to sleep in, if your kids let you.

It’s official! We’re a team!
