USMS SwimFest '10

USMS_SwimFest_2010

Alexandra Lopez and Ed Tsuzuki had the opportunity to attend SwimFest '10 at the University of California at San Diego on June 4-6.  SwimFest '10 brought some of the world’s top Masters swim coaches together for a weekend of clinics and instruction in a friendly, non-competitive environment.  The clinic was geared to both pool and open water swimmers of all levels, and was also structured to educate both swimmers and coaches.
