22 New Swim Records Set
Our swim meet was held Sept. 6 at Germantown Indoor Swim Center with 80 participants and 22 new MSO records being set.
Traci Pellegrini (Ellicott City), Heidi Henning (Bethesda), David Robinson (Kensington) and Margaret Bergamini (Annapolis) each set four new records. The oldest record broken was by Ms. Bergamini in the age 60-64 100 IM, which had stood since 1996. Mr. Robinson broke the age 80-84 200 freestyle that had stood since 1997. Interestingly, several records were broken by small fractions of a second.
