even Michigan Masters swim-mers attended the 2001 Lons

Course Nationals held at Weyer-haeuser King County Aquatic Centerin Federal Way, Washington.

The high point winner for the Men'sDivision was again Larry Day with50 points. He also repeated a sweepof the Fly events in the 50-54 agegroup but this time set National andWorld Records in both the 100M and200M Fly. He also broke the Na-tional and World Record in the 400MIM while taking a 3'd place.

The high point winner for theWomen's Division was again SallyGuthrie setting 5 State Records with28 points in the 50-54 age group.

Larry Day sets 2 World Recordsand Sweeps the FIy Events

his year Larry Day became thefrst male swimmer in Michi-

gan Masters history to win all 3 dis-tances (50, 100, 200 Fly) in bothUSMS Nationals (SCY/LCM) for his

age group in a particular stroke, re-sulting in 6 National Championshipmeet titles. He joins a select groupof only 3 other women who haveever accomplished this. They in-clude: Leslie Wetzel in 1989 and1990 in breasffoke (35-39 age group)winning 12 titles; Lois Nochman atthe 1999 Long Course and at both2000 Nationals in fly (75-79 agegoup) winning 9 titles; and BarbChurch at 1981 LCM and 1982 SCYin backstroke (30-34 age group) win-ning 6 titles. This is very hard to ac-complish since you have to haveenough speed and agility for theshorter races and enough cardiovas-cular endurance and conditioning forthe longer races. At the Long CourseNationals he set World Records inthe 100M Fly (1:01.9a) and the200M Fly (2:22.29), after being veryclose several times in the last 9 yems.ln the current 2001 SCY Top Tenrankings he had 4 first place rankingsin the 50-54 age group adding the100 yd. IM to the fly events. By theend of the Long Course season hecould have as many as seven 1" placefinishes for the year.

Larry has produced a lifetime of ac-complishments in swimming. In highschool, he was a Relay State Cham-pion and All-American in his Junioryear for swimming the fly portion ofthe 200 Medley Relay. In his senioryear, he was State Champion andAll-American in the 100 yd. Fly(52.8), which at that time was the 6'nfastest clocking in the nation. In col-lege he swam for Gus Stager at theUniversity of Michigan for 4 years,placing consistently.in the top 6 andgetting as high as 3'o place at the BigTen Conference Meet. His competi-tion in Fly in the Big Ten Conferencemeets included world record holdersMark Spitz and Gary Hall. In hisfirst Masters State meet (1975EMU), he did the 100 Fly (52.77)which was the 2nd fastest time in the

nation that year in the 25-29 agegroup, and that time lasted as a Staterecord for 13 years. In 1981, swim-ming in the 30-34 age group in hisfirst Long Course Nationals, heplaced 2no in the 50M Fly (27.96),and third in both the 100M Fly(l:00.68) and 200M Fly (2:22.44).His l00M Fly time from that meet isstill a State record today, 20 yearslater.

In 1992, he became a World Cham-pion (40-44 age group) in the 100MFly (I:02.25) at the World MastersChampionships in Indianapolis. Heachieved his first All-American forplacing frst in both the National andWorld Top Ten LCM rankings. Histime just missed the World Record(1:02.05) set by Lance Larson in1980. In 1996, he won the 50 and100 Fly at the LC Nationals in AnnArbor for his first National Champi-onship meet titles. By the end ofsummer 2001, he has a career total of1 World and 8 National Champion-ship meet titles and has set 2 Worldand 5 National Records. So is theremore to accomplish? Yes, I believeLarry can break more National Rec-ords and World Records in ShortCourse Meters in his age group. HisLCM time is already faster than thecurrent SCM World Record ofl:02.54. He is within .71 seconds inthe 200 Fly and .66 seconds in the 50Fly. Also he is within 1 second ofthe 400 IM World Record.

I think the most impressive aspect ofLarryr's swimming was his clocking inthe 200M Fly at 2001 LC Nationals,a time faster than he did 20 yearsago. I have never heard of anyonedoing that at the Championship levelespecially in so difficult an event.Most of us would like to hang on totimes maybe 5 and if were lucky pos-sibly 10 years, but 20 years is really amilestone. Congratulations Larry andgood luck in the future.

/t's early August as I write thisI column. so summer is still infull bloom, but probably fadinginto fall as you read this. Oursummer in Masters' Swimmingwas bittersweet as we mournedthe death of Charlie Moss (fullobituary elsewhere in Newslet-ter), the first recipient of Michi-gan Masters Lifetime Achieve-ment Award, given last March inMidland.

The swimming meet at Ann Ar-bor had many more swimmersthan past years, while theDearborn meet was well at-tended as usual. Thank you,Skip Thompson, for runningthese meets (maybe next yearsome Ann Arbor Masters couldtake over that meet?!!)

The MSU meet, though not sanc-tioned, was attended by a smallgroup of swimming enthusiasts,and we thank Wally and Hollyfor running that meet. TheGrand Haven Open Water Swimhad many swimmers luxuriatingin 71 degree Lake Michigan. I'mlooking forward to the HarborSprings swim, and the greatsightseeing swim along the point.

We had several winners in the 2MIle Cable National Champion-ship in Indianapolis and mayhave some others in the 6 MIle

Championship in late August atthe same venue. The NationalLong Course Championship inWashington will probably pro-duce some winners, too.

As we turn toward our indoor sea-son in Michigan Masters, I wouldlike to encourage more of you toparticipate in our meets. Youmay not be able to go to all of themeets/races...most of our lives areso busy. But, for me, swimmingin meets gives a chance to seehow I'm doing atthat point in theseason.

Just working out is not enough ofan incentive to challenge myself;swimming in meetslraces helpsme set higher goals for practicesand races. Though I'm over-weight and have some places onmy body that "must be jello 'causejam don't shake like that," and theidea that I might not swim as wellas last year or last week, is some-times difficult to accept, I'm stillreally thrilled that I can continueto swim.

We really are so lucky to be ableto participate in Masters! And atmeets, I can see and visit with en-thusiastic veteran and new swim-mers, like Mary Fran Williams,James D'Amour or my new youngfriend, Felicia, who swam in allthree meets and did her first open

water swim this summer: thev in-spire me.

I hope that you will consider at-tending some more meets thisyear; we hope to have a couple ofnew meets:Kalamazoo in late Oc-tober and Grand Haven in lateFebruary.

The United State Aquatics SportsConvention, including the 250volunteers (delegates) who keepUnited States Masters Swimmingorganized, meeting at theDearborn Hyatt in early Septem-ber, couldn't go on without ourMichigan Masters volunteers, likeEdith Glusak, Ralph and BonnieDavis, Dennis McManus, GeorgeNewman, John and Tanya Reese,Carol Rhudy, Bob Isbister, LauraGogola, Mike Bell, Nancy Flnat,Andrea Funk, Bev Meyers, Har-vey Hoffmaster, Lois Nochman,Don Krueger, Paul Wright, JimColeman, Paul Chaffee, BarbBos, Fred Nelis, Bob Heritier, andespecially, Skip Thompson, andany volunteers whose names Imay not have at this time.

Thank you so much for everythingyou do and did! See you in thepooll JP

Charlie Moss 1928 - 20Ol

Charlie Moss, the great USMS andMichigan Masters swimmer, and for-mer outstanding University of Michi-gan swimmer, died July 12, in hisown bed, surrounded by his family,his favorite Sousa marches playrngand sending him on his way. At thechurch, his son, Chuck, called him a

gentleman; he was truly a kind andgentle man.

Charlie was the frst man to break aminute for the 100 butterfly; he wasoften introduced with this fact atmeets. He had a fine career at U ofM but had even greater success inMasters, he was a l7-time All-American, broke 25 USMS records,held 19 Masters' World records, and48 World Top-Ten #1 swims.

In March, Charlie received the firstMichigan Masters Lifetime Achieve-ment Award at the Midland MastersMeet, a meet he ran for 26 consecu-tive years. He was given the awardnot only because of his prowess as aswimmer, his service as a meet direc-tor, but because he was a outstandingrole model for all of us Mastersswimmers in Michigan. He encour-aged so many people to begin train-lng for fibress and competition,which he loved. He was involved formany years with Midland Dolphinsswim team, supporting his childrenwho were sw'immers. He was also

Chair of the Review Committee ofMichigan Masters, because everyoneknew that any disputes would be re-solved fairly with his leadership.When he retired from Dow. he be-came the Aquatics Director at his be-loved Michigan for several years. Hewas devoted to the sport of swim-ming.

His family, community and team-mates concluded the firneral serviceby srnging the Navy hymn, an almostperfect conclusion (The priest sug-gested the U of M's fight song, whichCharlie had requested could be sungoutside after the service!) for some-one so devoted to water. We willmiss that long, lanky guy, swimmingthe butterfly with a breaststroke kick,speaking with deep, polite voice, butmostly we will miss his enthusiasmfor this rejuvenating and renewingsport of Masters swimming. Hisgreat spirit, though, will live on in hiswonderfirl family and devoted Mas-ters teammates. JP

tllichigan Maslers $Roilighrf ooking back I can see that I wasI-lprobably bom a water baby. Asa small child my parents took my sis-ter and I to the beach. Later we weresent to summer cirmps for a week ortwo. Here, the only organized sportswere swimming and boating. Nobasketball, soccer or baseball.

Growing up and attending school inDetroit gave me opportunities toswim, which only today I recognizeas being unusual. Every high school,and some junior high schools hadpools that were open in the suiltmerand offered classes to children. Mymother made sure that we took ad-vantage of the opportunity.

At Denby High School (class of1953) I was able to take "straightswimming" as my P.E. class. Swim-ming every day. I was on the girl'sswimming team for all four years.Most of our races were 25 yards, in a100-foot pool. A rope in the water

mmked the end of the race. Thelongest distance we swam was 50yards one complete length and half-way back. The flip turn was not yetin use, and the Butterfly was just be-ing introduced. Today, when I talkwith other women my age oryounger, I discover how unusual hav-ing a girl's team was, years beforeTitle IX and the legal requirement forschools to offer equal opportunity insports to girls and women.

After graduation, I continued myeducation at the University of Michi-gan. There was no team for girl'sswimming, so I experimented withother sports: tennis, golf, ice-skating.Travel, career, marriage and familyabsorbed my time for the next dec-ades. In the mid 1980s my bodystarted to say, "Move, do something!I am rusting away!" I joined the localYMCA and begin lap swimmingmost mornings before school (I am ateacher.) My ability improved dra-

maticallythe dayafter I quitsmoking.

The sum-mer after my husband passed away in1999I read about the Oakland SeniorGames, and decided to participate.Here I met Lois, Edie, Mary Fran andother wonderfully encouraging peo-ple. That Fall Lois called me to go toa meet with her in Monroe. I becamehooked on Masters swimming meet-ing people of many different back-grounds, but with the same interests,not allowing the body, spirit and mindto deteriorate. Now I am looking for-ward to going to New Zealand for theWorld Meet. I don't expect to retumwith any medals, but the firn is in thejourney, not the destination.

In the June '01 issue of The Wave Eqter there were some omissions and errors thathave been brought to our attention. Michigan Masters had two usMS pool All Starsand two additional All-American swimmers that were not listed with the other Michi-gan LMSC All-Americans and All Stars. The 2000 pool A1l Stars were LoisNochman in the 75-79 age group and Jewel Cooke in the 90-94 age group. BeverlyMyers should have been listed as a 2000 Pool All-American in the 65-69 age groupand was correctly listed as a 20o0 Long Distance All American in the 65-69 agegroup. Michael Bell should have been listed as a 2000 Long Distance All-Americanin the 30-34 age group.

As for the swimmer High Point by Age Group at the 2001 state Meet in Holland,Teresa DiGuiseppe should have been listed as the High Point winner for thewomen's 70-74 age group with 63 points. Lois Nochman should have been listed inthe75-79 age group with 63 points and trdith Glusac should have been listed in the80-84 age group with 63 points. There were No Swimmers in the g5 g9 and the 90-94 age groups.

At the 2001 YMCA Masters short course Nationals in Sarasota, Fla., Gaard Arne-son should have been listed as the Men's High Point Winner with 42 points.

Jennifer Parks presented the President's Report. She said Saginaw Valley was interested in hosting the StateMeet. Holland also is interested in hosting State Meet. She thanked Fred Nelis for an excellent job as hostof State Meet. Jennifer also announced that Charlie Moss was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Awardfor his 26 straight years of dedicated service to Masters Swimming at the local, state, and national level.

Jim Coleman gave the Register's Report. He announced that there are over 600 registered members as oftoday. He's also requesting clubs to update information about when and where they swim and train. He sug-gested that a clarification be made to designate Michigan Club Team Membership verses Local Club Mem-bership.

Barb Bos presented the Sanctions Report. Barb expressed concern for a better form for sanctions. She alsoneeds at least six weeks to two months for sanctioning a meet. She reminded members that there is a $2.00fee per swimmer at sanctioned meets. Skip Thompson commented that this summer is providing plenty ofmeets for swimmers to keep active.

Paul Wright provided the Records/Top Ten Report. All meet results can be immediate because of technol-ogy and computerization. Hand held timers take more time to report results. Some members would like tosee a list of All-American swimmers from Michigan along with relays representing Michigan.

The Newsletter Editor's Report by Dennis McManus stated that 750 newsletters were printed and 500 weremailed to members. The report noted that the quarterly newsletters were color coordinated according to theseason. Efforts are also being made to get the newsletter on-line, but no specific time table has been set.Members complimented Dennis for the format of the newsletter. Also members expressed interest in arti-cles about swimmers and training techniques.

Skip Thompson gave the Webmaster's Report because Milton French was unable to attend the Annual Meet-ing. Skip noted that website is being updated on a regular basis.

Mary Williams gave the Fitness Chair Report. She is looking for autobiographical type of stories aboutswimmers and their fitness training routines. She's looking for personal interest type of stories about"healthy lifestyle choices of swimmers who are not necessarily gold medal swimmers. She would also liketo get some stories about swimming used as rehabilitation, weight loss, and coping with older age. Mary al-ready knows of some great stories, but would like more which could be published in the newsletter or put onour web site.

Jennifer Parks noted in the Marketing Report that an "invoice" will be sent with a renewal application tomembers which tropefully will be a nice reminder.

Skip Thompson in his Zone Report announced he was selected as a zone coach responsible for helping localcoaches to keep in contact with the National Organization. He said Melissa Rinker is in charge of our Zone.

There was no Review Committee Report.

Skip Thompson said a decision would be made in July about location of 2002 State Meet. Eastern MichiganUniversity is a possibility, but details need to be address and questions answered. Dick Specht suggestedthat bids for 2003 State Meet be sent out a vear ahead.

The 2001 USMS Convention will be held in Dearborn the second weekend in September. Michigan Masterswill be providing a Hospitality Room for delegates at the Hyatt in Dearborn where convention activities willtake place.

'( Ind I will not complain about the suddenly cool weather, knowing that just ten days ago we were immersed in a constant steambath climate in Louisville, Kentucky at the Lakeside Masters Invitational Long Course Meet. We had just completed several weeks of95-99 degree heat while training for the meet here at Brennan Pools in Detroit, an unheated 50 meter pool which actually warmed upto a record 83 degrees. However, it always seemed cool and refreshing, escaping from 95/99, (humidity 50155) to g3. The water atthe Louisville Lakeside quarry/pool was also 83, but it seemed much warmer, as the humidity and air iemperature both hung at g7.\\re learned that it is far more uncomfortable when the humidity matches the temperature. Itls just more painftl to boil than it is toburn! In Louisville, you could never get dry! The air was so wet, you were always wet, in or out of the water!

That said, the meet was a fun experience, getting together with other Michigan Masters for relays, learning how to turn at the slippery,gutterless concrete walls of the quarries (not fun in the 400 I M.). We would have enjoyed the tour of the beautiful homes surround-ing the quarry/lake, if we weren't rushing to find parking places (no lot) in time for the next event. yet this was truly a country clubatmosphere, in a beautiful lake setting. There were four pools arranged around the quarry, which was partitioned so tlat the competi-tion pool was separated from the recreational pools and lake rafts. This was probably the hottest, most humid day of the year, so thefacility was crowded to capacity and everyone was "feeling the heat". However the local (dues paying) members of the LakesideSwim Club showed great restraint toward the competitors (and vice-versa) and no one lost their "cool" completely. We came awaywiih a 3'd Place Trophy, some records, and many personal best times, so none of us were complaining!

The trip home was a real joy, with the humidity diminishing as we headed north, and our clothes gradually drying outfrom our bodies. It brought to mind the song my Dad used to sing to us when we traveled on summer vacations in hisradio): "How I wish and wish again, that I was home in Michigan. . . ."

Following is a poem to sum up the short, hot, Long Course summer:

Swimming with the Gods (And I Must Be crazy!) - pt. 2--Memoirs of a Fledgling Master Swimln€r--

By James Carl D'Amour

Like I said, you know, the guy who can'tdive worth (insert expletive here).

In my age group, you'll usually see me asthe guy who finishes last.

Dead last.

So why do I do it?

Why should a 40-year old guy who neverswam in high school or college, whostarted Masters swimming only threeyears, is constantly beat out by men do-ing half-or-even less his time be takinghis lobster-chested body to these meets inthe first place?

A). Because it's there. You thought Iwas a masochist before? Hah. I do allthe fly events and the longest distanceevents, whatever the entry limits provide.On a more serious note, though, I do itto improve my time.

B). Because it's fun. I dedicate this col-umn for those fledgling Master swimmerswho've never done these events before-or are just learning.

In the last issue, I shared my first openwater experience. In columns to come, Iwill share my experiences as a new poolmeet swimmer, and other new things thathappen to this relative newcomer to theworld of swimming.

What I want to bring home is the factthat swimming is fun, all around.

For those of you who haven't participatedin a meet before, go for it!

You may be the swimmer who is justnow getting back in the water after a sev-eraVmany year sabbatical, adjusting tolife-style changes. Or you just may beplain-plum burned out from the past that

included an exhaustive high-school, col-legiate, or some other intense life re-volving around swimming.

I say to you, come back into the water,it's fine.

What, never had the "glory days?" Meneither. Welcome to the club. And in-deed, welcome. Swimming at meets,you will meet new friends, perhaps re-kindle some old ones, too.

As far as winning goes. If you're com-petitive, that's great! The more compe-tition the better.

What? You're what people call a"fitness swimmer"? No danger ofbreaking records, or winning anything(unless no one else shows, and what funis that?). Hey, me neither.

Come to the pool meet anyway. Myfellow swimmers may be competitivewith each other. but I have never foundcollectively a more supportive group ofpeople. We thrive on each other achiev-ing our "personal best"

Pool meets are a great way to improveyourselfl You can set measurable goalsto shoot for, as well as improve upon.My fellow swimmers may be competi-tive with each other, but I have neverfound collectively a more supportivegroup of people. We thrive on eachother achieving our "personal best".You will find a collective group of peo-ple wanting to help you make it happen.

So c'mon in, the water's fine. And themore of you out there, the better. If acrazy, color-coordinated belly-flop diverlike me can do it, so can you!

Assume your stution...

They were referring to the block...

Take your mark...

(Yeah, right).

GO!

I know, I know, here's where I'm sup-posed to jump. Okay, go...

THWACK...

Sally Guthrie, my teammate from theAnn Arbor morning group, te11s me Ineed to work on my dive.

My chest doesn't disagree. I know I'11 beLobster Man for the rest of the day!

Three hours later, I finish my one-hundred meters. Wow. 3 hrs, 5 minutes,and.5 seconds. Apersonal best! Yeahl

Okay,.. maybe I'm eraggerating just alittle.

But not by too much.

That is my memory of my first swimmeet, at Canham Natatorium in Ann Ar-bor last year. That was also the first timeI dived offthe blocks, but that is a storyfor another time.

I've been to nearly all the other meetssince that time.

whv?

You've seen me at events. You know,the guy wearing the funny swim cap, thecolor-coordinated goggles (I'm gunningfor the meet that awards ribbons for "bestdressed"--it's the one event I know I'llwin). Hope to see you there!
