Every yard counts, so if you cannot join us on the 19th ask a coach or friend to count/time for you sometime during January and submit your results!


400 Kick for Time (a USMS Postal Event) & Coach Trent's Holiday Relays!

Sunday, December 22nd @ East Providence Boys & Girls Club. Coach Trent will incorporate these events into SwimRI-Triton Swimming's Sunday 7:30am workout. The postal event is simple: kick 400 yards as fast as you can, then enter your time (if you want) via the event website. For those of you who have never attended a Triton workout, the drop-in fee is $5 and the Sunday theme practices are usually well-attended, spirited and a highlight of everyone's week.

NE-LMSC & USMS Colonies Zone Short Course Meters Championship Meet

Friday-Sunday, December 13th-15th @ Boston University and Saturday team dinner at Boston Beer Works (61 Brookline Avenue, opposite Fenway Park). SwimRI is the defending medium-size team champion. We focus on getting as many SwimRI swimmers as possible involved in relays and into the National Top 10 relay rankings -- relay team age classifications at meters meets are determined by the sum of the ages, not the youngest swimmer's age. All relays are submitted as deck entries at the meet. Unless you inform Frank otherwise at epmasters@aol.com, we will assume that everyone entered in the meet is available for relays on the day(s) you have entered individual events and that anyone swimming on Saturday is also attending the team dinner.

The online meet entry deadline is 11:59pm, Monday, December 9th: http://scmchamps.blogspot.com

2012 Meet Results

October 6th on-site registration added for HAWKtoberfest Meet at RWU!

Inaugural HAWKtoberfest Adult Swim Meet, Roger Williams University, Bristol, RI. USMS-recognized mini meet open to any adult swimmer age 18 or older (USMS membership not required).

Help us return the favor by attending the meet, the proceeds of which will help support the RWU college team's winter training trip.
