The yearly short course meters meet, hosted by the Dallas Aquatic Master (DAM), took place on November 18, 2006 at the Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center pool. There were not as many people this year as in the past few years, possibly because of the burnout effect of the World Masters Championships in August.
Regardless of the number of people, those of us there did have fun as we tried once again to convert our yards-mindset into a short course meters mindset.
You can see all the meet results at the North Texas Masters webpage. |
