held 20--22 April 2007 at the Dolores Bengston Aquatic Center in 
Pleasanton, California. You may enter on line at

The Dolores Bengstron pool is very fast pool. Ribbons will be 
presented to first through eighth place.

New England Masters has 829 swimmers register for the New England 
Championships. It would be fun to have at least 830 swimmers compete 
at the Pac Masters Championships.

Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center, Federal Way, Washington

COACHES MEETING /  TEAM LEADERSHIP MEETING
There will be a coaches meeting / Team leadership meeting on May 5th. 
Tom Boyd, and Jim Wheeler are the featured speakers. Tom Boyd did a 
survey of Masters swimmers last year. He will be discussion the 
results and what it means for coaches. Jim Wheeler will be speaking 
on getting along with the pool management.

A COUPLE OF MISSTATEMENTS IN LAST WEEKS UPDATE

I did not appoint a Team Committee. Pacific is not going to the New 
England Model. Walnut Creek was beat in the 200 Mixed Free Relay not 
the Medley Relay. Kerry O'Brien is not going to be the head coach nor 
are Brian Stack, Scott Williams and Tim Sheeper going to be the 
Assistant Coaches.

USF is not having a long course meet next February.

Rich Burns is not designing a new logo and mascot. Jody Smith, while 
always very helpful, had no idea about running that long course 
championships at the Belardi Pool.

Other than that, we stand by the story.

RINCONADA MEET RESULTS
The results from the Rinconada meet are not yet posted as they are 
not a in a satisfactory form for presentation. When they are (and I 
hope soon) the results will be posted. I  left the country on the day 
of the Rinconada meet and was in Australia on the day of the SCAM 
meet. I was not able to get those results timely posted.
