In 1987, when I went to my first USMS Short Course Nationals at
Stanford University, I fly to San Diego, then drove up the California
coast stopping along the way to do a little taper swimming. For an
interesting look at San Diego click here on San
Diego 360. |

Fire and Water - During
the summers of 2000 and 2001 the west had many fires throughout the
national forests. This
dramatic picture was taken by John McColgan's photo of elk in the East
Fork of the Bitterroot, Montana - Sula Complex on August 6, 2000. My
sister lives in Montana, so when it's time to really get away from
things, visiting her is the perfect thing to do. She lives in the
northwest corner of the state, approximately seven miles from
Canada. The Bitterroot, shown in this picture, is in the southeast
corner of the state.
There are several places to swim in Montana. Bozeman
State University has a great pool. Plus there are many
fitness centers around the state that appear on the Global Health and
Fitness website, including the "Second
Wind Sport & Fitness Center"
in Kalispell. |
Boston is the sister city to San Francisco with

pools in the city is at Harvard
University. There are a number of suburban clubs

check out include the Freedom
Trail, or the
National
Historical Park. And for classical music at Symphony
Hall, click
