Robert Strand Downs USMS Short Course Record in Santa Clarita

SANTA CLARITA, California, April 21. AT the Santa Clarita Short Course Yards meet on April 17, Rose Bowl's Robert Strand, 65, downed a United States Masters Swimming national record.

Strand clocked a time of 1:07.63 in the men's 65-69 100-yard breaststroke. That swim eclipsed the 1:08.19 set by David Gildea back in 2009.

Strand's goal for the upcoming U.S. Masters Nationals in Mesa, Ariz., is to become the first man in his age division to swim a 1:05 in the 100-yard breast.
