Report: 2009 Swim & Eat Classic

NOTE:  The Swim & Eat Classic will NOT be held in 2010


Back of the tee-shirt

The first annual San Mateo Master Marlins Swim & Eat Classic was held under beautiful, warm, sunny skies on Sunday, September 20, 2009.  A total of 62 swimmers competed in 16 events and were then treated to a barbecue picnic-style lunch.  A good time was had by all!

Kudos to the Meet Director, Henry Chan, for his outstanding job in organizing and running this swim meet so efficiently!  And special thanks to dozens of volunteers that made this all happen.

Folks, I need your FEEDBACK on how you like this type of presentation.  (Yes, I know the pictures fly-by kind of fast.  This is due to the fact that I crammed too many pictures into the 30-seconds that are allowed for the free version of this program.  Next time I can order a longer version of the video (2-3 minutes) at a minimal charge and then you'll hear the full soundtrack and pictures won't flash by quite so quickly.)  But, do you like it?  Want to see more of this type of presentation?  Please send me your FEEDBACK.  Thank you!
