Masters’ Open Water Weekend Turns Into Family Affair

By Rob Copeland

CLEMSON, SOUTH CAROLINA, June 14. UNDER overcast skies that threatened but never delivered rain, 67 Masters swimmers from around the country gathered at Lake Hartwell to compete in the USMS National 3K Open Water Championships.

The Masters championship was held in conjunction with the Clemson Aquatics Team 9th Annual Death Valley Open Water Swim Meet.

The Death Valley Open, named after Clemson’s football stadium, is a multi-event series of races, including 0.5K, 1K, 2K,3K, and 5K events, for both age group and Masters swimmers. Swimmers ranged in age from 7 year old Max Hamilton, who swimming with his mother Patricia, finished 10th in the 1K, to 72 year old Bob Beach, who won the 70-74 USMS 3K championship. In all 343 swimmers participated in one or more events.

Another swimming family, the Pipes, showed their swimming skills with mother Adrienne, while celebrating her 69th birthday, winning the 65-69 3K National Championship and daughter Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen winning the overall female championships in the 0.5K, 2K and 3K events.

In addition to the Hamilton’s and the Pipes’, there were 14 other parent-child swims at this year’s event. These were:
Jeannette (43) and Whitney (15) Bryan
Barney (47), Charlotte (45), Kelly (17), Phillip (15) and Kristen (13) Giese
Chris (41) and Collin (10) Greene
Mary (44), Lauren (21) and Rick (17) Hancock
Susan C (50), Carina (19) and Paul S (10) Heckert
Chip (43) and Alston (13) James
David B. (47) and Ashley (15) Jones
Kingsley (48), Rachel (18), Hannah (15), Julia (14) and Sarah (12) Kaminer
Christy (46), Hunter (14) and Keenan (10) Lineback
Graeme (39) and Megan (8) Mcgufficke
Jeff (39), Ryan (14) and Jeffrey Jr. (10) Mead
Debbie (42), Katie (13), and Brian (9) Molter
Victoria (43), Hart (17), Faris (15) and Mack (12) Montgomery
Judy (43) and Paige (10) Seago

After the race, one of the age group parents approached meet director Jacque Grossman and said "Your efforts not only benefit the hundreds of participants but also indirectly benefit many by creating a multi-generational example of the fun that an active life provides."
