Take me out to the Ball Game!
Later on this spring, Arizona Masters Swimming is going to have a social event at a Diamondbacks game! This will give us all a chance to watch a game, socialize with fellow swimmers, and enjoy some time together. It will also be the first in a series of social events designed to build camaraderie amongst our membership. The event will be at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix on Friday May 30, 2008. Game starts at 6:40pm against the Washington Nationals so you can swing on by after work. Swimmers, spouses, and supporters are encouraged to attend, however space is limited. We have reserved the Miller Lite Diamond Club for this event, which can hold up to 240 people.
NOTE: Nobody under 21 is allowed in this area.

See you at the game!

Sticking With It
As many of you know, US National Team member Nick Brunelli is an Arizona Masters swimmer and coach. He is pursuing his dream of representing the Red White and Blue in Bejing during the upcoming Olympics.
Along the road however, he injured his shoulder at a swim meet. This required some serious rehabilitation at Functional Performance Center in Tempe. One of the training tools they used was an exercise device that was in the prototype phase.
They call it the CoreStick(tm).
He used it to rehabilitate his shoulder and strengthen his core. It appears to be working...
His fiance uses it too!
The CoreStick(tm) is now available to the general public through their online store. If you want an abs-kicking workout, this is the tool for it.
