Fall Classic
Last month, Northern Arizona Masters hosted their annual Fall Classic at the Wall Aquatics Center. About sixty swimmers from all over the state came to swim at 7000 feet...and had a good time.See, these swimmers were smiling ;-)
On Saturday before the meet, the NAU Women's Swim Team conducted a stroke clinic at the Aquatics Center. Afterwards, Coach Liz Hobbs had a pasta feed at her house. Both events were fun, allowing swimmers to improve their strokes and load up on carbohydrates in preparation for Sunday's meet.
The meet itself was small yet fun. Many local swimmers participated along with some of the usual suspects. Everybody had to contend with the altitude but all survived just fine. The challenge of swimming in thin air was met and new friendships were made.
It was a beautiful fall weekend in Flagstaff. It was sunny and pleasant, a perfect time of year to be up north. Give this meet some thought when making your meet plans for next year. Well done NAM!
