Hello from Katy James, Chair AZLMSC

A couple great things happened at the July 24, 2024 AZLMSC Board meeting. We selected our delegates to the Annual Meeting to be held virtually September 11-13. There’s a lot of preparation and commitment involved to be a convention delegate and we’re very pleased to announce that our delegates include Judy Gillies, Kathy Gallagher, Virginia Baker, Marnie Whitley and Rome Yount.

We also selected our delegates to Volunteer Relay 2024, October 18-20 in Houston. I can say that this event is the best and most exciting volunteer opportunity that USMS hosts. Our delegates will come back energized and full of fresh new ideas to improve our Arizona swimming experience. They are Liz Hobbs, Barb Sloan, Marnie Whitley and Samantha Martoni.

For the first time, the AZLMSC will reimburse all clubs attending 2024 Summer Nationals August 21-25 in Mission Viejo for relays that they enter and for deck shade tents rented from the facility. Relays typically cost $16 for the 4 relay members and tents (check with the host) cost about $150 each for a 10 x 10. Submit your receipts to AZRegistrar@usms.org after the completion of the meet.

See you in the pool!
