The updated dues schedule has been posted for anyone who wants to register in Sept or Oct for the remainder of 2010 prorated. Member registration forms for 2011 will be available in late October. Contact the Registrar if you have questions.
Our records area has been updated for short course meters, reflecting Empire State Games updates.
The Colonies Zone has now started tracking Individual Zone Records. Pending updates from this past yards season, Niagara swimmers hold 9 records in yards, 4 in short course meters, and 6 in long course meters. This might give you some additional motivation for upcoming seasons. Good luck and get Niagara on the board!
USMS has made the 2010 yards Top 10 list official. We had 12 swimmers make the list. Nice job everyone! |

In 2007, Scott Rigsby became the first double-amputee on prosthetics to finish an Ironman triathlon, an astounding 140.6 mile competition. Scott's website (www.scottrigsby.com) describes his speaking engagements in the following fashion:
"He speaks with clarity, passion, purpose, and humor about the persistence needed to achieve what you think is beyond your reach. Scott’s compelling personality and motivational message touches people in a very profound and memorable way."
Scott will be speaking at a free event on Saturday, September 18th at 7pm. The event is at Aldersgate UMC, 4115 Dewey Ave Rochester, NY 14616-1216. You can call (585) 663-3665 for more information (or click here to view the event flyer). Niagara district member John Simm was kind enough to extend an invitation to anyone interested in attending. |
