Many storms have rolled through Connecticut recently but nothing like the rainstorm of broken records that hit Wesleyan University's Freeman Athletic Center this past weekend.
Fourteen athletes representing 12 different clubs knocked down 28 CSI records during the 2009 Senior Championship. Wow!
Bob Shearer, RAC, was elected Senior Coach of the Year by his peers. Congratulations, Bob!
Congratulations to our record-breakers and all the fine athletes and coaches that participated in this meet.

Note about the 2009 Senior Open records: Caroline Wilson, SNCO, also broke the 17/18 400 IM CT record with a 5:00.29 swim. but was the second-place 17/18 finisher and therefore was not awarded the 17/18 record.
Letter from Jeff Gray, Meet Referee
This past weekend Connecticut
Swimming hosted the 2009 Long Course Connecticut
Senior Open Championships. Before we get too far
away from the weekend, and caught up in other
matters, I wanted to take a moment to express my
gratitude to everyone in Connecticut Swimming who
participated in the weekend's events.
The members of the Senior Committee did an
outstanding job. My thanks to Henk Jansen, the
Senior Committee Chair, Anne Geissinger, the Meet
Director, Henk's assistant coach Jason Cochran, and
all of the Senior Committee volunteers for the time
and effort that they put into the weekend. I truly
appreciate all that they did to make the weekend the
success that it was.
Our parent volunteers were outstanding throughout
the weekend once again. Available, helpful,
cheerful, always pleasant and armed with good humor.
This group is particularly broad, and includes
dedicated meet officials, competent computer
experts, hospitality specialists, and countless
administrative loyalists, all of whom gave so
generously of their time and talents, in support of
our kids throughout the state of Connecticut who
have chosen the sport of swimming as an area of
focused dedication. Many of the volunteers in these
categories were present throughout the entire
weekend, and I appreciate all that they did to make
the meet run so smoothly. Thank you to all for your
support and time this past weekend and throughout
the year. It was a pleasure to work with you.
The coaches are a group that I am particularly fond
of. I admire their tireless dedication and
commitment to our athletes. I have always
appreciated their comradery on the deck, more than
they may know. I'm very proud to work with all of
those who staff our coaching ranks, and I truly
enjoy our time together on the deck. I even enjoy
the minor dust ups that we occasionally have, all of
which are resolved with grace and good humor.
You're all terrific, and it's been an honor getting
to know all of you throughout the years.
Last but not least, I could not be more proud of our
athletes. From the 11 and 12 year olds who were
appearing at Senior Opens for the very first time,
all the way up to our seasoned veteran swimmers, and
everyone in between, our kids displayed good
sportsmanship, outstanding character and well
developed athletic skills. I've had the pleasure
of getting acquainted with many of our high school,
college , and post college swimmers over the years,
as well as many of our young coaches who were former
athletes in Connecticut Swimming. I've known and
had the pleasure of watching many of them compete
since they were junior high school kids, swimming in
Age Groups. It's been so much fun watching them all
grow up and advance, as swimmers and more
importantly as young adults.. They are shining
examples of our mission, and their development is
the very reason that so many of our coaches and
volunteers dedicate their time and talents to
Connecticut Swimming. It's truly my honor to know
and serve all of our athletes.
As the General Chair for Connecticut Swimming, I was
proud of everyone this past weekend, and proud of
the event we put on for our swimmers. For those of
us who are involved in Connecticut Swimming in our
different capacities, this past weekend is what it's
all about: the all around development of kids as
young adults, the refinement of their swimming
talents, and fast swimming. Connecticut Swimming is
comprised of terrific kids, and outstanding
volunteers who give generously of their time. It's
my pleasure to serve and be associated with all of
you.
Great job, everyone.
