Six Swimmers, Six Reasons to Swim
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio
People are drawn to masters swimming for many reasons. Some love the competition. Others enjoy the friendship. Still others are on a journey of self discovery. And you can find all of them at a meet.
At the Pacific Masters Short Course Yards Championships on April 6-8 there were swimmers who started when they were young and some experiencing competition for the very first time. All of them were enjoying the camaraderie and having a good time.
A handful shared their stories and their reasons for swimming.
