<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>PACIFIC MASTERS SHORT COURSE
YARDS CHAMPIONSHIPS</b></font>-<font color="#FF0000"><b>ON LINE
ENTRIES DUE 9 April</b></font></div>
<div>The 2007 Pacific Masters Short Course Yards Championships will be
held 20--22 April 2007 at the Dolores Bengston Aquatic Center in
Pleasanton, California. You may enter on line at</div>
<div><x-tab>
</x-tab>http://wcm.mastersswim.com</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Dolores Bengstron pool is very fast pool. Ribbons will be
presented to first through eighth place.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>New England Masters has 829 swimmers register for the New England
Championships. It would be fun to have at least 830 swimmers compete
at the Pac Masters Championships.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>USMS SHORT COURSE YARDS
CHAMPIONSHIPS</b></font><font color="#FF0000"><b> ON LINE ENTRIES DUE

<div>The 2007 USMS Short Course Yards Championships will be held at
the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center, Federal Way, Washington

<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>COACHES MEETING / TEAM
LEADERSHIP MEETING</b></font></div>
<div>There will be a coaches meeting / Team leadership meeting on May
5th. Tom Boyd, and Jim Wheeler are the featured speakers. Tom Boyd did
a survey of Masters swimmers last year. He will be discussion the
results and what it means for coaches. Jim Wheeler will be speaking on
getting along with the pool management.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>A COUPLE OF MISSTATEMENTS IN
LAST WEEKS UPDATE</b></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I did not appoint a Team Committee. Pacific is not going to the
New England Model. Walnut Creek was beat in the 200 Mixed Free Relay
not the Medley Relay. Kerry O'Brien is not going to be the head coach
nor are Brian Stack, Scott Williams and Tim Sheeper going to be the
Assistant Coaches.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>USF is not having a long course meet next February.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Rich Burns is not designing a new logo and mascot. Jody Smith,
while always very helpful, had no idea about running that long course
championships at the Belardi Pool.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Other than that, we stand by the story.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>RINCONADA MEET RESULTS</div>
<div>The results from the Rinconada meet are not yet posted as they
are not a in a satisfactory form for presentation. When they are (and
I hope soon) the results will be posted. I left the country on
the day of the Rinconada meet and was in Australia on the day of the
SCAM meet. I was not able to get those results timely posted.</div>
<div><br></div>
