SwimRI

SwimRI swam away with the men's, women's and combined points titles at the 2014 New England LMSC Short Course Yards Championships held at Harvard University on March 15 & 21-23. In a potentially record-setting performance spanning 57 events, 100+ Rhode Island-area Masters swimmers of all ages and abilities topped the 60-team field with determination, camaraderie and flair by dominating the relay events and scoring over 8400 total points, nearly 3000 more than host team and defending champion Cambridge Masters. Longtime SwimRI Member and Rhode Island Aquatic Hall of Fame Inductee Tom Manfredi led the way by scoring 215 points en route to capturing the men's individual high-point trophy.

On Saturday, March 15th, the SwimRI team had a strong showing in the distance events and edged out Cambridge Masters for an early lead in the overall team points competition following Day One of the New England LMSC Short Course Yards Championships at Harvard University. With 53 more events next weekend, March 21st-23rd, the team points title could very well come down to Sunday relays!

Roger Williams University is adding Tuesday evening and some Saturday morning workouts to its spring Masters schedule, and Naval Station Newport has added a Thursday morning workout. Click here for Masters practice locations and schedules.
