Dr. Bill Ross Memorial Masters Swim Meet, Sunday, November 21

AGUA Masters swimmer Robert Kolonkowski and Metropolitan Masters Swimming are putting together a rare opportunity to compete in a 25-meter swim meet at Nassau County Aquatics Center (Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, NY). The meet is on Sunday, November 21 at 12pm.

Come out and support our teammates, New York metropolitan-area Masters swimming, and our sport in general. We can shoot for records as a team in relays and individual events. After the meet, we can go out as a team, share a meal, and the post-competition glow. I am swimming in the meet and hope that you will join me! Learn more and register to compete.
