WH2O at SCY Nationals Meet in Atlanta

From May 20 to 23, 2010, WH2O swimmers converged upon the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center (coming from as far a field as Washington, D.C.; New Mexico; Santa Barbara; and the San Fernando Valley) to put in a fine showing at the 40th Annual U.S. Master Swimming Nationals in Atlanta.

Nineteen swimmers competed in heats, and heatedly supported their teammates and friends (with the help of Liz’s mom) as they brought their best game to relays and individual events, fueled by Hammer Nutrition and outfitted by Nike swim, both newly minted team sponsors. With warming up, racing, warming down, eating, cheering, napping, and the rigorous inspection of eye candy, the weekend sped by in a blur. Fortunately, various iPhones and personal digital devices recorded the events with the usual poetic grace from several of our photographers (slideshow below compliments of Susan Shore).

Congratulations to all our swimmers for their brilliant efforts. Special thanks go out to Nationals Coach Russell (with an assist from Coach Olver, on the injury list, but still present to support) for leading the team in a successful competition.
