This past weekend, I wrapped up my summer rec swimming season, swimming at our the annual Orinda Moraga Pool Association (OMPA) swim meet. It is one of the largest recreational swim meets in the country, with over 4800 entries and 1700 swimmers. Our team (Meadow Swim & Tennis) finished in second place, just a few points shy of our rival (Orinda Country Club). It’s the closest we’ve come to winning the meet in all of the years I’ve been swimming. Every year we get a little bit closer!
I swam personal best times in all of the events I was entered (we’re limited to three), earning gold county-qualifying times in all and a spot in finals for backstroke.
