USMS Summer Nationals: Eight Records Set in First Two Days From Sarasota

The U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) Summer National Championships kicked off from Sarasota, Florida in record fashion.

Through the first two days of competition, eight records have been set, some USMS records and other Masters World Records.

The meet runs through Aug. 6 at the Selby Aquatic Center in Sarasota.

Swimmers in individual events will be awarded points for first through tenth places as 11-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, respectively. Relays will be awarded double points for first through tenth places as 22-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2, respectively.

Club scoring will be tabulated in two categories (regional clubs and local clubs) and three divisions (men, women, and combined). Mixed relays score points only in the combined division.
