Swimming World is about to amp up overage of USMS events!

Jason just sent us this:

"... PHOENIX, Arizona, August 10, SPORTS Publications International will begin providing more United States Masters Swimming (USMS) coverage on a regular basis. Under the direction of Swimming World Magazine's editorial staff, Emily Sampl will begin covering Masters events as an intern starting Sept. 1st.

Most of what we envisioned for USMS as part of our desire to continue supporting USMS has been put into place with a better magazine design and layout, and the launching of new media vehicles in TV and Radio," Rutemiller said. "We went forward without USMS. We are now prepared to ramp up USMS coverage and evaluate those benefits going forward, but it is still a two-way street. We are proud to have Emily be a part of the team leading us in this area." [Link]

Perhaps send them photos or YouTube links of your USMS races as well?

UPDATE: Jason Asked: "... I'm really excited about that. One of them might have open water as a primary beat. So, anything special from the open water people out there would be grateful.

I personally would love to post anyone's pictures of an open water swim that really captured the spirit of the event. I would link to any You Tube movies as well. The idea here is to inspire others to swim or enjoy someone's swimming.

Thanks for the link. We are really excited about bringing Emily in. Also, we're probably going to double our total interns from 2 to 4 in the second year of the program. I'm really excited about that. One of them might have open water as a primary beat. So, anything special from the open water people out there would be grateful.

Look for some more coverage from all over the place!
