In Greensboro, summer is a time for swim meets, swim meets, and more swim meets. What a great way to stay fit while enjoying the warm summer days. The beauty of swimming is that everyone gets to compete, not just the best athletes.
Here we see swimmers at the Eastern Invitational Swim Meet, held this past weekend at Lindley Pool. Greensboro Swimming Association has been sponsoring the meet for 54 years. Swimmers in the far lanes were in the process of swimming the individual medley after just finishing their mile event.
Many of the Greensboro swimmers who participated in the Eastern Invitational will be back in the water tonight as Tuesday is the day for the Community Swim Association's dual meets... Greensboro Country Club, Bur-Mill, Lake Jeannette, Friendly, Green Valley, Cardinal (to name a few of the club teams)..... fun will be had by all! July 9th-11th, all 2,000 swimmers will converge on Lindley Pool for their Grand Rivalry: CITY MEET!
Once we get the natatorium built, Greensboro will have fine swim facility to provide a first-class place to compete as well as a place for all of our swimmers to practice. That's My World! See you at the pool.
Swimming is one of the great low-impact sports. Looks like a nice pool.
We're working on ours...the chemicals went haywire for some reason. Not fun.
