lf you have anything you would like to see trDTTOR in the Wave Eater, let me know.! ATOTStr Happy Spring everyone.... Can you believe that summer is right around the corner? lt hardly seems possible!!

I have just a couple of quick notes here.... First off I want to say that I talked with Greg Prais from A2QUA the other day and am thrilled to report that they will be taking deck entries at their meet at Dondero. lf you're planning on staying for dinner Sat. and are going to deck enter, my suggestion is that you just give them a quick call now and tell them you're coming.

Second item... A HUGE thank you to Dennis McManus for shooting pictures at the State Meet as well as doing the first two articles of the Wave Eater, and doing the photo layout. I think it kept him pretty busy, but I think he did a wonderfuljob!

Next of all... For those of you who have internet access. lf you go to our webpage and then to the USMS link, there is a place you can register for the USMS swimmers e-mail directory. lt's a great way to keep in touch with folks you meet at the competitions and a good way to find a place to swim if you're headed out of state.

Also... for those of you who actually LIKE to compete during the summer... We have some summer meets. Ann Arbor in June, Dearborn and the Tri-Cities Y Open-Water in July and The Harbor Crawl Open Water in Harbor Springs in early August. All of the fliers are herein and don't forget Long Course Nationals is being held at the Hall of Fame Pool in Ft. Lauderdale in August. Even though it'll be a hot one... don't pass it up, Stu Marvin runs an excellent meet!

Lastly... to those who have hosted meets during the regular SC season... or would like to; PLEASE contact Tom Moyer and get thinngs rolling on your sanctions. The fall will be here before we know it and we want to get the schedule in place as soon as possible!!

As a footnote... Anyone interested in the NIKE World Games in Portland in August, entry deadline isJune 1st. lf you need an entry, call me at (517) 592-8908
