The presentations have become one of the main draws for swimming fans, especially since the introduction of the celebrity award presenter in 2009.  Some of the former presenters include:<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Olympians:<i> Matt Grevers (&#039;08, &#039;12); Tara Kirk (&#039;04); Lynn Vidali (&#039;68 &#038; &#039;72); Pablo Morales (&#039;84 &#038; &#039;92); Dana Vollmer (&#039;04 &#038; &#039;12); Dana Kirk (&#039;04); Maryanne Graham (&#039;76). <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, <i>Natalie Coughlin (&#039;04, &#039;08, &#039;12); Rebecca Soni (&#039;08 &#038; &#039;12) and Missy Franklin (&#039;12)<\/i> all provided welcome videos for the swimmers at the 2012 Far Western Short Course Championship.<\/p>\n<p>The 2013 Far Western Short Course Championship is set to be bigger and better than previous years, with entries from the Canadian All-Star Team, 15 USA Swimming LSCs, 184 USA Swim Clubs, 1,861 USA Swimming athletes, 7,187 individual entries and 372 relay entries.
