    Hey guys! I'm new here! Originally from upstate NY, but live in Cedar Hill TX. I have recently found an indoor 25 yard pool. Many of the pools here are only open during the summer, are outdoors and aren't 25 yards, so I was excited to find one that was!

    Welcome! That is great news about the pool. This is a great group to be part of.

    My sister just moved to the Ft. Worth area after years of living in Florida. I don't think Cedar Hill is where she ended up but it sure sounds familiar as one of the places she was looking.

    LOST swim? Do you swim to an island in purgatory? Run away from a smoke beast? Travel to the past and future?

    Lol. That would be cool. But, less excitingly, it stands for Lake Ontario swim team.

    I'm from Hastings in New Zealand! Swam competitively in the 80s started back last year after 27 years off lol.

    This season I hope to do the North
    Island championships the New Zealand Masters Games and the long course nationals again. In the 2016-17 season I want to do the Australasian Police and Emergency Services games and the World Masters. All of which depends on if/when my bicep tendon fully ruptures and what happens with my subscapularis tear!!

    West Coast of the US, anyone? I'm in Portland, OR. I swim at my local community center through the Portland Parks and Rec. I don't have any events planned. I am too new and slow, although there's nothing like a goal to get a person working harder!!

    WOT?! Me too! Although I swim through North Clackamas Parks and Rec. Also no events, because, well, I'm not about that (yet).
