HAS THE CENTER OF MASTER'S SWIMMING HEADED EAST
Bob Seltzer, past president of New England Masters said in an recent 
article in Swiminfo web site "You can make a pretty good case that 
New England is the center of master's RACING in the US." He was 
quoted after the 2002 New England Masters Championships where 12 SCM 
world records were bettered (11 individual and 1 relay).
	http://www.swiminfo.com/lane9/news/3132.asp
As later reported in Swiminfo "that proud comment got the dander up 
of one Wayne McCauley, a coach in the Southern Pacific Masters 
region. "How about a paper meet, SPMA vs. New England, using short 
course meters meet times?," he suggested. "Then the real center of 
Masters racing would be produced." "

will also arrange to have a room available with a TV and VCR. Sierra
