AZ Senior Games Swim Meet
By Judy Gillies
For all of you wondering what is going on with our Annual AZ Senior Games (Olympic) Swim Meet that is held the last Sunday in February here is the latest information:
I have had a Zoom meeting with Irene Stillwell, who is the head of the AZ Senior Games, and Anthony Baumann, who is in charge of Recreation and Aquatic Facilities for the City of Chandler. Due to the fact that Covid-19 cases are increasing in AZ, and the restrictions for facilities is getting tighter, it looks like we will NOT have a meet this February. Let me tell you, I was ready. I had figured out a way we could do it from the way the age-group meets that I have officiated were run. However, no matter what I suggested they just kept putting road blocks in my way. There are now too many restrictions. Therefore we have rescheduled for November 6th, 2021 for our 2021 games and then February 26th for our 2022 games.
The National Senior Games will occur May 10-23, 2022 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The NSGA has extended the qualifying period through December 31, 2021. For more information on the NSG, including qualifying times, visit https://nsga.com/ If you have any questions please email Judy Gillies.
