"I had left competitive swimming vowing never to return ... My first meet since then was the Illinois Masters State Meet over 39 years later in April 2015… and have been actively swimming ever since. I feel in the best physical shape of my adult life.
Much gratitude for the role USMS has played in all of this and congratulations to the success stories of others to which USMS has been so integral."
