Swimming World Magazine Announces Title Sponsorship for Major Competition in Arizona

PHOENIX, Arizona, March 19. LOOKING to package all of its media within one event in a 3-year deal, Swimming World Magazine is now the title sponsor of the Swimming World Magazine Cactus Classic, hosted by Scottsdale Aquatic Club & Sun Devil Aquatics, to be held Memorial Day Weekend in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Prelim/Final, Age Group/Senior Swimming World Magazine Cactus Classic will be held in two pools; Cactus Aquatic Center in Scottsdale and the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe. The finals for all events will be swum at ASU. The pools are 20 minutes apart.

Real-Time results for the event will be hosted on SwimmingWorldMagazine.com. Swimming World Radio will broadcast audio highlights of each senior championship final. The winners of those races and any age group record breakers will be interviewed and broadcast on Swimming World TV. Special awards will be presented to medalists, high point winners and the combined team champion.

"We are proud to have Swimming World Magazine as our title sponsor for this competition. May in the Arizona desert is one of the most beautiful times of the year. With a championship format, we hope to grow this meet to an international level. We feel the use of a multi-site competition will attract top-notch competitors," said Jerry Olszewski Head Coach of Scottsdale Aquatic Club and Meet Director.

"This is the closest we can get to real-time coverage of an event. The fact that Swimming World Magazine is based in Phoenix, allows us to promote this event utilizing all of our media. We are very excited to showcase our ability to provide full coverage of a USA Swimming sanctioned event in our own backyard," said Brent Rutemiller, Publisher and CEO of Sports Publications International, owners of all Swimming World media properties. "It will certainly be an exciting event for any athlete across the country to attend," Rutemiller concluded.

With average daily highs of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and lows of 64, there is no better time to test the racing waters of Arizona than Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-28).
