PCST Masters Show Off Their Improved Swimming Skills at White Sands Triathlon 2012! Although the PCST Masters swim team is only a moth and a half old, the program is already up to 34 swimmers!!  And yes, I mean SWIMMERS!  They have been doing a great job with Coach Phillip and are improving tremendously.  As Phillip pointed out to me after going through all of the White Sands Triathlon results over the weekend, all you had to do to find our swimmers was look for a swimming time that was...

Tsunamis Thrive Even In Poor Weather Conditions at the "Paradise" Invitational! While the terminology "Tsunamis" and "Paradise Invitational" can be somewhat contradictory, they both proved to be accurate for our season opener meet this past weekend.  The meet started off with a number of great swims in absolutely gorgeous "paradise-like" weather........but that was Friday.  Wow what a difference a night can make.  Saturday morning brought dark clouds, thunder and lightning as our seniors were only able to swim relays and one event.  That didn't stop us from breaking an all-time...

PCST Posts Highest Team Finish Ever at NCSA Junior Nationals Championships! For the first four years of coaching PCST, it was my dream to take a really strong team to Junior Nationals in Orlando, making 2012 a dream come true before we even set foot on the deck.  With six swimmers qualifying in at least 3 events each (plus 3 relays), we have finally reached the point where we are a team that deserves to be recognized at a national level championship meet.  To put extra icing on the cake though,...

Victoria Hove's 400 IM Victory Highlights a Very Exciting 2012 Southeastern Championships! Before the meet ever got started, I looked through the psych sheet to see how we stacked up against the other teams.  What I found was probably the most competitive Senior division that has ever existed at the Southeastern Championships.  Times that would have easily made Top 16 or Top 8 in the past just flat out were not going to cut it this year.  Southeastern Swimming has gotten faster!  But that's a good problem because greater competition...

Tsunamis Shine at Districts in Every Single Age Group! There was a reason I wanted as many Tsunamis to attend the District Championships in Pensacola as possible............because we had a blast swimming fast!  (And I knew that was going to be the case!).  While we did not achieve our team goal of 75 swimmers entered in the meet, we got very close with 68.  When all was said and done, we ended up having about 60-62 Tsunamis compete because a few of you got bit by the sickness bug.  But...
