There will be an addition to the long course meet schedule. There is a meet on May 17 - 18, 2008 at GMU Fairfax, which corresponds with the Kentucky Derby. The swimmers that participate get to name themselves by a horse's name, and that will be shown on the scoreboard. This meet, this year, will be open to all kids that have a BB & up in one or more events to participate. I believe that this meet can be fun.
