On January 13, 2019 Bellevue Club hosted the second annual Masters Mile. 46 swimmers gathered to complete a single event: The beloved (or dreaded, depending on your level of pain tolerance/sanity) 1500 meter freestyle.
A few highlights of the day:
Tammy returned to Bellevue Club—the pool of her youth–and even ran into her former coach! The memories of her younger years must have inspired her as she completed the 1500 in 20:26—beating her seed time by 17 seconds. A likely best time in her adult swimming career!
Jason made an impressive debut as a TWIM distance swimmer discovering that it’s much different to swim a mile in the pool than in open water. He prevailed in this new event beating his seed time by over a minute and a half!
Val—beat her seed time by a reported 5 minutes! 5 minutes! That’s not a typo. Amazing swimming, Val!!
Dan, Betsy and Kathy also swam fabulously, and it was a great event at an impressive facility.
Many thanks to Tom F., Tom W., and Carl for joining us on deck to help and support our efforts!!!!!
