It won't be as hot and sweaty as Nats. And there won't be many people squeezing into overly small suits and flashing the crowds. But there will be some fast swimming at Colonies Zones featuring forumites such as Michael Ross, SwimmieAvsFan, Peg, etc. http://www.terrapinmasters.org/LCM-Zone-08.pdf.

On the social front, Swimmy has made reservations for Team Hottub and guests at Ledos near U of Md on Saturday night at 7:00 pm. If you want to join, send her a PM. For those who want to lounge around and trash talk at the conclusion of the meet on Sunday, come to Hotel Fortress for some afternoon sun and burgers. Stud will be the Barmaid. Jim Thornton will be in attendance, but I have not hired the high school marching band to celebrate his Zonesmanness. Mr. Fort is decamping with the kids for the weekend, so it will be an adults only weekend -- no skinny dipping Stud.

Everyone can feel free to make fun of my 50 breaststroke, which I am swimming in lieu of the 50 free. :joker:

I'll be too busy serving drinks apparently to skinny dip..."Is that a swizzle stick in your Pina Colada or are you just happy to see me?"

That parking lot is pretty creepy!

I read that there are 200+ swimmers. Many more than last year.

I swam well over my Back times but beat the other 3 by at least a half second.
